Scott Aerator Skyward Fountain For Large, Commercial Ponds

The Scott Aerator Skyward is a large-pond display fountain designed to combine water movement with a prominent center stream and wide side spray pattern. Available with 2 HP and 3 HP motors, the Skyward creates a tall central column of water while spreading water outward across a broad area of the pond.

Both configurations use oil-free stainless steel submersible motors, are designed for continuous operation, and are approved for saltwater applications.

Installation & Assembly

Included Components

The fountain assembly includes the float platform, pump assembly, stainless steel filter, stainless steel bolts, nuts, washers, and stainless steel screws required for assembly.

Assembly

Assembly involves securing the float to the fountain housing, installing the stainless steel filter, attaching nylon anchoring lines to the stainless steel eye bolts, and fitting the fountain head before placing the unit in the water.

Anchoring

Two nylon anchoring lines attach to the fountain eye bolts. The lines can be secured to shore or attached to submerged concrete blocks positioned at least 20 feet apart. Anchoring ropes and weights are not included.

Electrical Installation

A GFCI is required. The manufacturer recommends using a licensed electrical contractor and specifically states that an extension cord should not be used to supply power to the motor. Power must always be disconnected when swimmers are present.

Maintenance & Winter Operation

Routine Maintenance

The Skyward requires little routine maintenance under normal operating conditions. When the fountain is removed from the water, the manufacturer recommends washing it with high-pressure water and visually inspecting the unit to make sure nothing is restricting water flow.

Anchoring Rope Replacement

Anchoring ropes can deteriorate over time. When quality nylon rope measuring 3/8 inch or thicker is used, the manufacturer recommends replacing the anchoring ropes every five years.

Winter Operation

Scott Aerator designs its water features to avoid time-consuming winterizing procedures. Follow the manufacturer's operating and electrical guidance for freezing conditions and never operate the fountain when ice or other conditions could create an unsafe situation.

Power Cable Sizing

The correct cable size and maximum cable length depend on the motor configuration. The manufacturer's motor specification chart should be used when planning longer electrical runs. The listed distances are measured from the pump motor to the circuit breaker.

Warranty

5-Year Motor Warranty

The Skyward motor is covered by an unconditional 5-year motor warranty from Scott Aerator.

Warranty coverage remains subject to the manufacturer's warranty terms and conditions.
