This fountain aerator combines pond aeration with an elegant, trumpet-shaped water display for small residential ponds. It creates a strong surface current that helps oxygenate the water while reducing algae and debris.
The ½ hp configuration circulates 400 gallons of water per minute and produces an approximately 6-foot-high by 14-foot-wide spray pattern. It is intended for ponds greater than ⅛ acre and requires a minimum water depth of 32 inches.
The unit uses a stainless-steel, oil-free submersible motor designed for fresh water and salt water. It may remain installed during winter with the power turned off and can be restarted after the pond thaws.
