Installation & Assembly

Kit Components

The assembly instructions list the float platform, motor/pump assembly, fountain nozzle for fountain models, stainless steel filters or debris shields, stainless steel bolts, nuts, washers, and screws as kit components. Hardware varies by the selected configuration.

Assembly

The assembly process includes positioning the float over the discharge port, securing the float with the supplied hardware, installing the stainless steel filter or debris shield, and attaching the fountain head where applicable.

Anchoring

The assembly instructions call for nylon anchoring ropes to be attached to the stainless steel eye bolts. For the fountain assembly, the ropes are secured to four 8 x 8 x 16 inch cinder blocks submerged at least 12 feet apart.

Electrical Installation

Electrical installation requires a ground fault circuit interrupter and the manufacturer recommends using a licensed electrical contractor. An extension cord should not be used to supply power to the motor.

Maintenance & Winter Operation

Routine Maintenance

The manufacturer describes its water features as requiring little routine maintenance. When the unit is removed from the water, it is recommended to wash it with high-pressure water and inspect the entire fountain or aerator for debris or anything restricting water flow.

Anchoring Rope

Quality nylon anchoring rope measuring 3/8 inch or thicker should be replaced every five years. The manufacturer recommends inspecting the anchoring system whenever the unit is removed from the water.

Winter Operation

The manufacturer recommends leaving the unit in the water during winter rather than removing it. Turn the power supply off while the water is frozen and restore power after the water thaws. The manufacturer states that the components are designed to withstand sub-zero conditions.

Warranty

5-Year Motor Warranty

Standard Scott Aerator products are covered by a five-year warranty against motor defects in materials or workmanship under normal operating conditions.

Other product components are covered by a one-year warranty from the date of purchase, subject to the manufacturer's warranty terms.
