Product Description
Scott Aerator Jet Stream pond fountain is built for property owners and pond managers who want a clean, vertical spray pattern that instantly elevates the look of a pond while supporting steady water movement.
Designed as a tight, columnar “jet” style display, this fountain is a strong choice when you want height and visual impact rather than wide, multi-tier patterns. It’s offered in multiple motor sizes to suit different pond sizes and depth conditions, and it can be paired with optional lighting for a striking nighttime presentation.
Choose the Right Size
Selecting the correct model is primarily about matching your pond’s surface area and minimum operating depth. Use the sizing guidance below as a practical starting point, then factor in site-specific conditions such as wind exposure, desired spray height, and placement.
| HP Size | Recommended Pond Size | Spray Pattern (H x W) | Flow Rate (GPM) | Minimum Depth |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1/2 HP | 1/4 – 1/2 acre | 15' H × 4' W | ~250 GPM | 30" |
| 3/4 HP | 1/2 – 3/4 acre | 20' H × 5' W | ~300 GPM | 30" |
| 1 HP | 3/4 – 1 acre | 25' H × 6' W | ~350 GPM | 36" |
| 1.5 HP | 1 – 1.5 acres | 30' H × 6–7' W | ~450 GPM | 36" |
| 2 HP | 1 – 2 acres | 35' H × 7–8' W | ~550 GPM | 42" |
| 3 HP | 1 – 3+ acres | 40' H × 8–10' W | ~650 GPM | 42" |
Installation & Operation Notes
Plan for secure anchoring (typically weights or concrete blocks, depending on your setup) to keep the unit stable and properly positioned. For safe operation around water, a GFCI-protected circuit is commonly required; confirm local electrical code requirements and consult a qualified electrician as needed.
Because it’s a vertical, high-visibility spray style, the Scott Aerator Jet Stream pond fountain is best installed with consideration for prevailing winds and nearby landscaping to minimize overspray and keep the display looking crisp.
FAQ
Will the display look different in wind? Yes. Wind can push the vertical stream off-center; choosing the right location helps the Scott Aerator Jet Stream pond fountain maintain its intended look.
How do I pick the best horsepower? Start with pond size and minimum depth, then match output to your desired visual height and site conditions.
Can I add lighting later? Many pond fountains support add-on or retrofit lighting options; confirm compatibility for your specific configuration of the Scott Aerator Jet Stream pond fountain.
