Five Fountains in One!

The Great Lakes Fountain, the latest offering from Scott Aerator Company, provides a beautiful and versatile water feature that improves the health of your pond. This fountain includes five interchangeable brass nozzles that can be swapped out easily without tools.

Each nozzle option enhances the visual appeal of your pond or lake while promoting a healthy aquatic environment and maintaining water clarity and oxygen levels. The Great Lakes Fountain is the most eco-friendly option available, featuring a stainless steel, oil-free, submersible motor and pump.

All Scott Aerator water features are designed to operate without the need for costly and labor-intensive winterization. Simply keep your fountain running, turn off the power, and leave it until spring. Once the water thaws, restore power, and it’s ready to go. All components can withstand sub-zero temperatures without damage.

Features:

• A stunning layered design from the "Baystone" nozzle.
• A beautiful cascading effect from the "Rosewood" nozzle.
• A wider cascading style from the "Tudor" nozzle.
• An elegant conical shape with the "Millbrook" nozzle.
• An enhanced version of the classic geyser design from the "Gusher" nozzle.

Installation

1. Assemble The Unit

Assembling Scott Aerator Fountains takes about 15-20 minutes. Instructions will be provided with your fountain. The kit includes:

• Pump with cylindrical casing and attached power cable
• Square float platform
• Protective stainless steel filter
• Decorative nozzle (not applicable for the DA-20)
• 5/16"x2" stainless steel bolts
• Stainless steel nuts & washers
• Self-tapping stainless steel screws

Tools Needed: A wrench (or socket driver) and pliers.

Assembly Steps:

1. Place the fountain housing on a stable surface with the pump discharge facing up.
2. Attach nylon rope (not included) to the two stainless steel eyebolts for anchoring.
3. Position the float and secure it with the provided bolts, washers, and nuts.
4. Invert the fountain, remove the Styrofoam doughnut, and install the stainless steel filter, aligning the pre-drilled holes. Secure with the provided screws.

2. Attach Lights (If you did not order lights, skip this step)

Scott Aerator light kits attach easily to the square float platform and include:

• (2) or (4) LED light fixtures with power cable
• 1/2" bolts & nuts
• (2) or (4) stainless steel arm brackets
• Timer/control unit
• Remote control (only for color-changing lights)

Tools Needed: Wrench & Pliers

*Note: The included timer/control unit is necessary for light operation. Do not disconnect the cord from the control unit, as this will void the warranty.

Assembly Steps:

1. Attach each arm assembly to the water feature, ensuring the arms are oriented with “L” facing upward. Remove one of the 2" bolts securing the float and align the holes with the stainless steel arm. Reinsert the bolt with washer through the housing, float, and arm. Secure with washer and nut. Repeat for remaining arms.
2. Attach each light to the stainless steel arms, securing with bolts and nuts. Adjust the lights along the arm as needed.
3. Connect the lights to the Timer Control Unit by aligning pins and securing the connector with a half turn. Avoid overtightening to prevent damage.

3. Place in Water

• Once assembled, place the unit in the water for final adjustments and anchoring.
• Handle the fountain carefully to avoid placing weight on the stainless steel filter.
• Once the fountain head is submerged, secure it in place (not applicable for the DA-20).
• Float the fountain to the desired location and secure the nylon ropes to the shore or use two concrete blocks submerged at least 20 feet apart.
• Finally, plug in your fountain and lights to the power source. Always use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) and consult a licensed electrician for installation.

Buying Guide

Choosing Horsepower

• The horsepower affects the size and flow rate of the fountain's spray. Higher horsepower moves more water, resulting in a larger or thicker spray.

• Selecting horsepower depends on your budget and pond size. A good guideline is to maintain at least 10 feet between the fountain spray and the pond's edge.

Choosing Voltage

• When in doubt: Contact us.

• If using 115V power, be aware of the maximum distances from pump to breaker (including the power cord).

• For 230V, distance is generally not a concern.

Choosing LED Lights (Optional)

• Available for immediate purchase or can be added later. Light sets easily attach to the float.

• Lights operate on 110V and come with their own power cord.

• Options include single-color warm white LED lights or color-changing LED lights.

• Both options include a programmable timer, and the color-changing lights come with a remote control that works up to 1,000 feet away.

• 2-light sets are recommended for 1 HP and below.

• 3-light sets are recommended for 1.5 HP and 2 HP.

• 4-light sets are recommended for 3 HP.

Choosing Timers (Optional)

• Available for immediate purchase or can be added later.

• Timers are designed solely for controlling fountains, not lights.

• FAQ: The residential timer is plastic, while the commercial timer is metal, but both serve the same function.
