Please note that 115V units are only compatible with power cords up to 100ft in length from the main breaker to the fountain. If you are needing a longer power cord length, please go up to our230Vunits to avoid amperage drops.
L6-20 plug is required by the 230V and a 20 amp double pole breaker.

Cable Size & Max Distance From Fountain to Breaker
A: This is a loaded question, and the most common one that we get. Our first question would be: is the goal aeration, aesthetics or both? If the goal is aeration or both, we recommend checking out one of our Aerating Fountains. These have a much higher flow rate than our aesthetic fountains and will circulate a larger volume of water. If the goal is aesthetics, there are many different options to discuss. A lot of this will be largely up to you, and what you want it to look like. The biggest things you want to determine are first, that your pond meets the minimum depth requirements and second that the display size isn’t too large for it. We have display dimensions on all fountain product pages.
Q: If I want to buy a fountain, how do I choose the horsepower?
A: The horsepower is simply the size of the motor which will determine the size of the spray pattern. You will want to make sure that your pond meets the minimum depth requirements for whatever horsepower you choose, and ensure that the spray won’t be splashing the sides of the pond. Generally, if your pond is a quarter acre or larger, you can fit any of the fountains that we carry (depending on the shape of the pond). The horsepower you choose will depend on how big you want it to look and the budget that you’re working with.
Q: Do I need to hire someone to install my fountain?
A: If you do not already have a power source installed by the pond, we strongly advise consulting a licensed electrician to install the power source. Once the power source is installed, installation of our fountains is pretty straightforward. All of our fountains simply float in the middle of the pond, are anchored on two sides by nylon rope and cinder blocks, and plug in via submersible cord to the power source on the edge of the pond. We have many customers that choose to install their own fountains and save money on installation. This of course depends on the resources available to you.
Q: How do I choose between 110-120V and 220-240V?
A: A good rule of thumb is: If the power source at the edge of your pond is more than 70 feet from your main breaker, choose 210-240V. You will of course need to ensure that your power source is equipped to accommodate the higher voltage. This will ensure that your fountain gets ample power in order to run consistently. If you choose the lower voltage and the pond is too far away from the main breaker, your fountain will run intermittently, will shut off immediately after turning it on or will not display to its fullest size. Please call us with any questions.
Q: Are lights automatically included?
A: Lights are not automatically included. They can be purchased at the same time as your fountain or at a later date. They simply snap on to the floating unit. They are well worth it.
Q: Why is the power cord so expensive?
A: This is largely dictated by the cost of materials. Depending on the make of your fountain, the power cord is made of 14-gauge copper or stainless steel wire, all the way down to 4-gauge copper or stainless steel wire (depending on the size of the fountain and length of power cord).
Q: Can my fountain be left in the water during the winter?
A: Only Scott Aerator Fountains are built to operate through the winter. They should either be run continuously or shut off entirely for winter months. Once the water thaws, simply turn them back on.

Great, Not only did I buy the fountain it was such a Great Deal we purchased the light kit to go with it. We couldn't be happier with it. Would highly recommend Scott Aerator to everyone :}
The Scott Aerator DA-20 has exceeded my expectations in every way! Its powerful performance and stunning fountain display make it a standout product. Since installing it in my pond, I've noticed a significant improvement in water clarity and fish health. Five stars all the way!
I'm extremely impressed with the Scott Aerator DA-20! Not only does it perform exceptionally well, but it also adds a touch of elegance to my pond with its beautiful fountain display. It's a fantastic addition to any pond, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase!
A:Hi there, we do offer solar packages. Please email sales@ProtoPond.com for more information.

A:Hi Tim,
Assuming a 230V residential timer as well as a 2-light set, that would come out to a total of $3,899.95. The pump is covered by a 5-year warranty, 2 years for the lights and 1 year for the cable. If you call or email us, we can discuss pricing further. Let us know if you have any other questions!

Q:Will it remove allergy problems I have alot of it in my pond

A:Hello! Unsure if this was a typo or not. If you are wondering about algae, this will certainly reduce algae significantly over time. You will just want to make sure you choose the proper motor size for your pond (guidelines are in the product description). If you were referring to cotton or pollen resting on the surface of the pond, this will definitely circulate the water enough to reduce surface debris. It obviously can’t stop stuff from landing on the pond but it will churn the water enough to where it will be much less of a problem.

Q:I HAVE A POND ABOUT 1 ACRE IN SIZE, WHAT DO YOU RECOMEND. IT WOULD BE ABOUT 200
FT TO THE ELECTRIC POWER, IS THAT TO FAR?

A:Thanks for reaching out! For a 1 acre pond you would want to go with a 1/2 HP pump. If 200 feet of cord is needed, you will just need to choose 230V for the voltage and make sure that your outlet by the pond is for 230V. Let us know if we can answer any other questions.

Q:I see that it’s recommending 32 inch deep pond what happens if it’s not quite 32 inches?
Answers (1)

A:Hello! If you’re within a couple of inches you should be fine but once you dip below 30 inches (assuming you have a 1/3 HP motor) the fountain won’t run at its fullest capacity. It will either run intermittently because it will be “starved” for water or it won’t move as much water as it’s supposed to and the display will be too small/won’t aerate as effectively. If depth is an issue for you, we would recommend the Kasco VX Series Aerating Fountain. Very similar to the DA-20 and is built for shallower ponds.
