Bring beauty and balance to your water with the North Star Fountain Aerator. Its graceful, trumpet-style display adds elegance to any pond or lake while delivering powerful aeration to improve water quality and reduce algae and debris buildup.
Engineered for performance, our commercial-sized North Star models circulate between 700 and 800 gallons of water per minute, generating a vigorous surface current that boosts oxygen levels and enhances overall water health. Designed for commercial, residential, and municipal environments alike, the North Star makes an impressive statement both by day and after dark. Optional lighting sets — available in several styles — can be installed with your fountain or added later as an easy upgrade.
All Scott Aerator products are built to withstand harsh conditions — no need for complicated or costly winterizing procedures. Simply shut off the power and leave your fountain or aerator in place. When spring arrives and the ice thaws, restore power, and it’s ready to run. Every component is engineered to endure subzero temperatures without damage.
