Installation

1. Assemble The Unit

Assembling Scott Aerator Fountains takes about 15-20 minutes. Instructions will be included with your fountain. The fountain kits come with:

• Pump with cylindrical casing and attached power cable
• Square float platform
• Protective stainless steel filter
• Decorative nozzle (not applicable to 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 included bolts, washers, and nuts.
4. Turn the fountain upside down, remove the Styrofoam doughnut, and install the stainless steel filter, aligning the pre-drilled holes with the filter's position marks. Secure the filter with the provided self-tapping screws.

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

Scott Aerator fountain light kits attach easily to the square float platform. The light kits 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 operating the lights. 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 “L” faces upward. Remove one of the 2" bolts securing the float to the water feature, align the holes with the stainless steel arm, and reinsert the bolt with washer through the housing, float, and arm. Secure with washer and nut. Repeat for the remaining arms.
2. Attach each light to the slotted end of the stainless steel arms. Insert a 1/2" x 1/4" bolt through each light bracket and arm, securing with a 1/4" nut. Adjust the lights along the arm by loosening the lock nut, sliding to the desired position, and retightening.
3. Connect the lights to the Timer Control Unit by aligning pins and screwing the connector together a half turn only. Avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to the O-ring or wiring.

3. Place in Water

• Once assembled, the unit is ready to be placed in the water for final setup and anchoring.
• Handle the fountain carefully; avoid placing its weight on the stainless steel filter.
• Once the fountain head is submerged, secure 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.
• 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 your fountain's spray. Higher horsepower means more water movement and 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 purchase now or later. Light sets easily attach to the float.

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

• Choose between 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.
