Enhancing Aquatic Environments: Aesthetic and Functional Solutions
Discover the perfect blend of functionality and beauty for your aquatic environments with our range of aerators, de-icers, and pond management products. Designed to improve water quality and protect your investment, these solutions cater to various needs, from decorative enhancements to essential maintenance.
Elegant Aerators and Fountains
Enhance your pond's water quality and visual appeal with our decorative aerators. These not only beautify the area but also boost the dissolved oxygen levels in your pond, leading to healthier water and reduced algae growth. Our decorative aerators, equipped with optional LED lighting, create a stunning display, especially at night.
These aerators efficiently oxygenate the water by projecting it into the air, allowing for atmospheric oxygen absorption. To fit the specific needs of your pond or lake, we typically recommend installing 2-3 hp of aeration power per acre.
For more comprehensive aeration, combine our decorative aerators with high-volume, non-decorative models, or consider a bottom-based destratification system.

Subsurface Aeration for Deep Water Bodies
For ponds deeper than 8 feet, subsurface aeration is the ideal solution. This system, featuring a piston compressor on the shore, pumps oxygen to a diffuser placed at the bottom of the pond. This setup generates an upwelling of bubbles that effectively circulate water, preventing stratification. In this condition, water layers of different temperatures and densities don't mix, leading to oxygen depletion at lower levels. Subsurface aeration efficiently disrupts this thermocline, introducing oxygen throughout the pond and averting potential issues like fish kills and organic sediment buildup.
De-Icers: Winter Protection for Aquatic Assets
Winter ice can be a significant threat to boats, docks, and aquatic life. Leveraging 45 years of expertise, Scott Aerator Company offers robust de-icers, ensuring the surface remains ice-free. Our stainless steel Dock Mount De-Icer is easy to install on various docks and can be adjusted for fluctuating water levels. It operates by circulating warmer bottom water to the surface, preventing ice formation and protecting dock structures from ice-related damage. In severe conditions, our models can maintain a 50 to 70-foot diameter area free of ice, ensuring safety and integrity during the coldest months.
