This fountain aerator combines pond aeration with a graceful decorative water display for small residential ponds. It circulates 450 gallons of water per minute and produces an approximately 8-foot-high by 16-foot-wide spray pattern.
The ¾ hp configuration is intended for ponds greater than ⅛ acre and requires a minimum water depth of 34 inches. It is designed for continuous operation in both fresh water and salt water.
The unit uses a stainless-steel, oil-free submersible motor. It can remain installed during winter with the power turned off and can be restarted after the pond thaws.
