Aerating fountains are widely favored for their dual benefits: powerful aeration and a graceful, serene aesthetic. The North Star Fountain Aerator is no exception.
Perfect for residential applications, the North Star for smaller ponds will delight during the day as well as at night when you add one of our color-changing lighting options. You can order it now or at a later time.
The Scott Aerator Company has engineered all of its water features to eliminate the need for time-consuming, costly winterizing products and procedures. Simply leave your aerator or fountain in the water, turn off the power supply, and forget about it for the winter. Once the water thaws in the spring, restore power to the unit and you’re good to go. All components will withstand sub-zero conditions without damage.
