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 light sets now or at a later time.
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 North Star is designed for use in both fresh and salt water.
