LED Lights (Optional)

• - Light sets can be easily attached to the float and are available for immediate purchase or can be added later.
  - For fountains rated at 1.5 HP or less, it is recommended to use 2-light sets.
  - For more powerful fountains of 2 HP and 3 HP, 4-light sets are advised.

Timers (Optional)

• - Timers, available for immediate purchase or later, are specifically designed for controlling fountains, not lights.
  - A common question: The main difference between residential and commercial 230V timers is their construction materials. The residential timer has a plastic casing, while the commercial version is metal. Both function the same.

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. Begin by placing the fountain's housing on a stable surface, ensuring the pump discharge opening is facing upwards.
   Attach nylon rope (not included) to the two stainless steel eyebolts on the housing. These ropes will be used to anchor your fountain.
   Next, install the float by aligning it over the housing and securing it with the provided two 5/16" x 2" bolts, along with the washers and nuts.
   Invert the fountain, remove the protective Styrofoam doughnut, and place the stainless steel filter over the pump intake. Ensure the filter's pre-drilled holes align with the corresponding marks on the fountain housing. Secure the filter using the three self-tapping screws included.

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

Tools Needed: Wrench & Pliers

*Note: The included timer/control unit is necessary to operate the lights. Do not disconnect the cord from the control unit, as this will void the lights' 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 to your Scott water feature and align the holes with the stainless steel arm. Reinsert the bolt with washer, passing it through the housing, float, and stainless steel arm. Secure with washer and nut. Repeat for the remaining arm assemblies.
2. Next, 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. The lights can be adjusted along the arm by loosening the lock nut, sliding the light to the desired position, and then re-tightening the nut.
3. Connect the lights to the Timer Control Unit by aligning the pins and screwing the connector together a half turn only. Avoid forcing the connection tight to prevent damage to the O-ring or wiring.

3. Place in water

• Once the unit is assembled, it can be placed in the water for final preparation and anchoring.
• Handle the fountain carefully; it is crucial that the weight of the fountain is not placed 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 to connect your fountain and lights to your power source. Always use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) and consult a licensed electrical contractor for installation.

Buying Guide

Choosing Horsepower

• Horsepower influences 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. While this choice is largely personal, a good guideline is to ensure at least 10 feet between the fountain spray and the pond's edge.

Choosing Voltage

• When uncertain: Contact us.

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

• If supplying 230V to the pond's edge, distance is generally not a concern.
