The Amherst Fountain adds beauty to your water feature while contributing to a healthy aquatic environment through oxygen transfer and water circulation. The classic, stately pattern of the Amherst Fountain provides a very distinct separation of all three tiers, capped by an impressive column reaching heights of up to 15 feet in the 1½ hp model. The 75- to 115-gallons-per-minute flow rate creates a pleasing ripple effect across the water’s surface. We offer the Amherst Fountain in powerful 1-hp and 1½-hp motors, making it ideal for medium-sized ponds and properties.
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.
Made in the USA: All Scott Aerator Company fountains, aerators, AquaSweeps, and de-icers are proudly made in Holland, Michigan and carry an unconditional 5-year motor warranty. These products are manufactured using a stainless-steel, oil-free, submersible motor, making them among the most environmentally friendly pond products on the market. There is no oil to change, no maintenance required, and no control box needed. Like all Scott Aerator fountains and aerators, the Amherst Fountain is designed for use in both fresh and salt water.
