A Note Before You Order

Select the correct motor voltage and cord configuration for your installation. A GFCI is required, and power must always be disconnected whenever swimmers are present. For 115V installations, the manufacturer states that the distance from the main breaker to the aerator should not exceed 100 feet. If the distance is greater, select a 230V motor configuration. Do not use an extension cord to supply power to the motor.

Scott Aerator Boilermaker Surface Aerator for Medium, Residential Ponds

The Boilermaker for medium residential ponds is a floating surface aerator built to circulate large volumes of water while transferring oxygen throughout the pond. Its low-profile design creates a broad, highly aerated boil without producing a tall spray pattern, making it suited to pond owners focused on circulation and oxygen transfer.

Medium residential configurations are available with 1 HP and 1.5 HP oil-free motors. The 1 HP version is offered in 115V or 230V, while the 1.5 HP model uses 230V power. The units are designed for continuous operation, approved for salt water, and can remain in the pond during winter when the power is turned off during freezing conditions.
