Optional LED Lighting

• Light kits can be purchased with the fountain or later, and attach easily to the float.
• For fountains up to 1.5 HP, 2-light sets are suggested.

Optional Timers

• Timers, available for purchase with the fountain or later, control the fountain pump, not the lights.

Power Cord Length Options

1. Unit Assembly

Putting together Scott Aerator Fountains usually takes 15-20 minutes. Instructions are included. The fountain kits contain:

• Pump with cylindrical housing and attached power cord
• Square float platform
• Protective stainless steel filter
• Decorative nozzle (except for the DA-20 model)
• 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's housing on a stable surface with the pump discharge facing up. Attach nylon rope (not included) to the two stainless steel eyebolts on the housing for anchoring. Install the float by aligning it over the housing and securing it with the provided two 5/16" x 2" bolts, washers, and nuts. Flip the fountain over, remove the protective Styrofoam ring, and place the stainless steel filter over the pump intake. Make sure the filter's pre-drilled holes match the marks on the housing. Secure the filter with the three included self-tapping screws.

2. Light Installation (Skip if no lights were ordered)

Tools Needed: Wrench & Pliers

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

Assembly Steps:

1. Attach each arm assembly to the fountain, ensuring the "L" marking faces 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 a washer and nut. Repeat for all arm assemblies.
2. Attach each light to the slotted end of the stainless steel arms. Insert a 1/2" x 1/4" bolt downward through each light bracket and steel arm, then secure with a 1/4" nut. Lights can be adjusted by loosening the nut, sliding the light, and re-tightening.
3. Connect the lights to the Timer Control Unit by aligning the pins and screwing the connector together a half turn only. Avoid overtightening to prevent damage to the O-ring or wiring.

3. Deployment in Water

• Once assembled, the unit can be placed in the water for final setup and anchoring.
• Handle the fountain with care; avoid resting the fountain's weight on the stainless steel filter.
• Once the fountain head is submerged, attach it by screwing it into place (not applicable to the DA-20).
• Float the fountain to the desired location and secure the attached nylon ropes to the shore or use two concrete blocks submerged at least 20 feet apart.
• The final step is connecting your fountain and lights to the power source. Always use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) and consult a licensed electrical contractor for installation.

Buying Advice

Selecting Horsepower

• Horsepower impacts the size and flow rate of the fountain spray. Higher horsepower means more water movement and a larger or denser spray.

• Horsepower selection depends on your budget and pond size. While largely a personal choice, a good guideline is to keep at least 10 feet between the fountain spray and the pond's edge.

Selecting Voltage

• If unsure, please contact us.

• If using 115V power at the pond's edge, be aware of the maximum distances from the pump to the breaker (including the power cord length).

• If using 230V at the pond's edge, distance is generally not an issue.
