A Note Before You Order

Select the correct motor voltage and cord length for your installation. A GFCI-equipped power source is required, and Scott Aerator recommends using a licensed electrical contractor. For 115V operation, the distance from the main breaker to the fountain should not exceed 100 feet. Do not use an extension cord to supply power to the motor, and always disconnect power when swimmers are present.
