Amherst Pond Fountain by Scott Aerator

Description

Scott Aerator Amherst pond fountain brings a classic, multi-tier display together with purposeful water movement to enhance the look and overall circulation of your pond.

Signature Amherst display for ponds and lakes

Designed as a three-tier pattern with a defined separation between levels and a central column, this fountain creates an elegant focal point that reads well from shorelines, patios, and waterfront properties. The tiered effect adds structure to the spray pattern while the moving water helps keep the surface active and visually engaging throughout the day.

Choose the right motor size

Selecting the correct horsepower is essential for the best performance and fit. As a general guide, typical sizing ranges are:

• 3/4 HP: often suited for approximately 1/8 to 1/4 acre ponds with about 44 in minimum depth
• 1 HP: commonly used for roughly 1/4 to 3/4 acre ponds with about 44 in minimum depth
• 1.5 HP: frequently selected for 1/2 acre to 1 acre (+) ponds with about 50 in minimum depth
• 2 HP: often appropriate for 3/4 to 1 acre (+) ponds with about 56 in minimum depth
• 3 HP: typically for 1 acre (+) ponds with about 60 in minimum depth

If you are comparing models, consider not only pond size and depth, but also desired visual impact, placement (center vs. shoreline), and local wind exposure. Scott Aerator Amherst pond fountain is offered across multiple power options so you can match the display to your site and goals.

Operation, safety, and upgrades

For safe installation and operation, use GFCI protection and disconnect power whenever swimmers are present. Optional lighting kits can extend the visual appeal into the evening and highlight the tiers for a more dramatic nighttime presentation.
