{"product_id":"solar-boilermaker-aerator","title":"Scott Aerator Solar Boilermaker Aerator","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Scott Aerator Solar Boilermaker is a surface aerator for ponds with no dependable electricity, powered entirely by solar panels and running during daylight hours without any batteries to maintain or replace. It drives a large volume of water straight up through the surface, which is where the name comes from — the result looks like a rolling boil rather than a decorative fountain spray. The intent is oxygen transfer and water movement: raising dissolved oxygen, reducing muck accumulation, and pushing surface algae and floating debris away from the area it works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower comes from a variable-speed submersible motor built by Franklin Electric in stainless steel, fed through a Fhoton solar inverter and disconnect box. Because the drive is variable speed, the aerator adjusts to the output the panels are producing rather than needing a fixed supply, which is what makes battery-free solar operation workable. The motor is oil-free and stainless, and the unit is approved for salt water as well as fresh, so it suits brackish and coastal ponds along with ordinary freshwater sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo system sizes are offered. The two-panel version pairs two 340-watt, 60-cell panels with a half-horsepower, 48-volt motor turning 3,450 rpm on three-phase 60 Hz power at 0.37 kW, drawing 10.3 amps and moving 200 gallons per minute; it needs a minimum pond depth of 36 inches. The four-panel version uses four of the same 340-watt panels with a three-quarter-horsepower, 100-volt motor at 3,450 rpm and 0.55 kW, drawing 8.3 amps and moving 300 gallons per minute, with a 44-inch minimum depth. Both ship with 70 feet of 12-gauge submersible cord and plug as standard, and longer cords can be ordered to reach a further mooring point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Boilermaker is built in Holland, Michigan, and the complete package is ARL-tested and compliant with UL standards and the National Electric Code when it is installed as a package. A GFCI is required, and power should be disconnected any time swimmers are in the water. It also works as a de-icer, and winterizing is simply a matter of switching the power off and leaving the unit in the pond until spring — there is no need to pull it out, drain it or store it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included and What You'll Need\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded: the Boilermaker aerator, two or four 340-watt solar panels with mounting frame, disconnect box, Fhoton solar inverter and all required wiring components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot included: the vertical pole for the panels and frame, and a concrete footing for it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot included: two anchor ropes with weights or tethers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot included: two 30-pound weights or concrete blocks for anchoring the aerator in position\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCord length options: 70, 100, 150 or 200 feet of 12-gauge submersible cord with plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Scott Aerator","offers":[{"title":"2-Panel: ½ hp","offer_id":67834440777919,"sku":"15102","price":6395.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4-Panel: ¾ hp","offer_id":67834440810687,"sku":"15101","price":7795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/1967\/6351\/files\/solar-boilermaker-psd-1920px.jpg?v=1793492815","url":"https:\/\/adventuremotion.com\/products\/solar-boilermaker-aerator","provider":"Adventure Motion","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
