Scott Aerator Atriarch Pond Fountain
The Scott Aerator Atriarch Delivers Bold Style and Powerful Performance
Picture a single jet climbing skyward from a solid brass center nozzle while eight surrounding streams arc outward in a graceful ring, catching the light on their way up and glistening as they descend. That is the Scott Aerator Atriarch -- a nine-stream fountain that creates a layered, three-dimensional display unlike anything a single-nozzle fountain can produce. On the 1/2 HP, the center stream reaches 20 feet with angled jets spreading 35 feet in diameter. Scale up to the 3 HP and the center column climbs to 60 feet while the surrounding jets extend up to 50 feet wide, creating a display that dominates any pond it sits in.
Beyond the visual spectacle, the Atriarch moves real water volume. Flow rates range from 2,700 GPH on the 1/2 HP to 10,200 GPH on the 3 HP, providing the kind of circulation and oxygen transfer that keeps a pond healthy -- discouraging algae, cycling stagnant water, and maintaining dissolved oxygen levels. Every Atriarch runs on an oil-free stainless steel submersible motor built in Holland, Michigan. There is no oil to monitor, no routine service to schedule, and it handles fresh water and salt water equally well. When winter arrives, leave it in the pond, cut power, and let the ice form around it. Every component survives subzero temperatures without damage.
Five motor sizes across seven total configurations give you room to match the Atriarch to anything from a quarter-acre residential pond to a multi-acre commercial property. The 1/2 HP and 1 HP ship in both 115V and 230V, while the 1.5 HP, 2 HP, and 3 HP are 230V only. Add optional LED light kits -- warm white or color-changing with a wireless remote -- to keep the display running after dark. Plug in an optional timer to control when the motor runs. Use the motor comparison and cable length charts below to find the right configuration for your site.
The Scott Aerator Atriarch is a nine-stream fountain -- a solid brass center nozzle surrounded by eight angled jets that arc outward in a graceful ring. The 1/2 HP reaches 20 feet high with 35-foot side jets, scaling up to a 60-foot center column on the 3 HP. Flow rates range from 2,700 to 10,200 GPH, providing real aeration alongside the dramatic multi-stream display.
The oil-free stainless steel motor runs 24/7 with zero maintenance, handles salt water, and survives winter without removal or winterizing. The 1/2 HP and 1 HP come in 115V and 230V, while larger motors are 230V only.
Five HP ratings across seven configurations cover ponds from a quarter acre to multi-acre lakes. Add optional LED lights or a timer to customize. Use the charts below to compare motors and confirm cable length.

Key Features of the Atriarch by Scott Aerator
- Nine Brass Nozzles, One Display: The Atriarch's vibrant look comes from a solid brass center nozzle surrounded by eight individual brass nozzles. The center stream commands attention while the surrounding jets arc outward in a graceful ring, catching the light and creating a three-dimensional water display that single-nozzle fountains simply cannot replicate.
- Scalable from Residential to Commercial: On the 1/2 HP, the display is intimate and elegant -- a 20-foot center stream with 35-foot side jets suited for a quarter-acre pond. On the 3 HP, the center column climbs to 60 feet with side jets extending up to 50 feet, producing a display large enough for commercial properties, HOA entrances, municipal parks, and golf courses.
- Oil-Free Stainless Steel Motor: Every Atriarch runs on an environmentally friendly submersible motor sealed in marine-grade stainless steel. There is no oil to monitor, no filter to replace, and no routine service to schedule. All motors are manufactured in Holland, Michigan and rated for continuous 24-hour operation.
- Five HP Options, Seven Configurations: The 1/2 and 1 HP ship in both 115V and 230V. The 1.5, 2, and 3 HP are 230V only. Each step up adds spray height, width, and flow rate so you can size the display to your property.
- Factory-Attached Power Cord: Each unit ships ready to connect with a submersible cord (70 feet of 12-gauge on the 1/2 HP, 100 feet of 10 or 12-gauge on the 1 HP and above depending on voltage). The 115V models include a standard plug. Longer replacement cords can be ordered separately.
- No Winterizing, No Removal: All Scott Aerator products are engineered to handle subzero temperatures without any damage to the motor, housing, or float. When the season ends, cut the power and walk away. There is no draining, no storage, and no reinstallation in the spring.

Requirements & What to Know Before You Buy
- Dedicated GFCI Circuit: A GFCI-protected circuit is mandatory for all Atriarch installations. Have a licensed electrician handle the wiring if you are not sure your current setup meets this requirement.
- Swimmer Safety: Power must be disconnected any time someone enters the water. This applies to all electric pond equipment, not just the Atriarch.
- Depth Requirements by Motor: The pond must be at least 36" deep for the 1/2 HP, 44" for the 1 HP, 50" for the 1.5 HP, 56" for the 2 HP, and 64" for the 3 HP. Measure at the planned placement point, not at the shoreline.
- Two-Point Anchoring: The Atriarch requires two anchor weights (or concrete blocks) and two nylon mooring ropes to hold position. Minimum weight per anchor ranges from 20 lbs on the 1/2 HP to 55 lbs on the 3 HP. Anchors and rope are sold separately.
- No Extension Cords Allowed: Running the motor through an extension cord is not permitted. If the included power cord does not reach your breaker panel, use the cable length chart above to select the correct wire gauge for the total run distance, and order a longer cord or have a qualified electrician install a dedicated line.
- Choosing 115V or 230V: The 1/2 and 1 HP motors come in both voltages. A 115V unit plugs into any standard outlet. A 230V unit needs to be hardwired into a panel. Scott Aerator strongly recommends the 230V version for the 1 HP to avoid voltage drop over longer cord runs. The 1.5 HP, 2 HP, and 3 HP are 230V only.
- ARL Compliance: Every Atriarch configuration is ARL tested and approved to meet the applicable requirements of UL and the National Electric Code as a complete package.
What's Included & Optional Add-Ons
- In the Box: Fountain pump with brass center nozzle and eight individual brass side nozzles, float platform, stainless steel filter basket, self-tapping assembly screws, submersible power cord (length and gauge depend on motor selection), and owner's manual. Everything needed to get the Atriarch in the water ships together.
- Available Separately - LED Lights: Choose from Night Glo warm white or color-changing LED sets. Both screw directly onto the float and run off 115V household power. Go with a 2-light set for motors up to 1 HP, or a 4-light set for 1.5 HP and above. Every light set includes a built-in timer. The color-changing version also ships with a wireless remote rated for up to 300 feet.
- Available Separately - Motor Timers: Set the fountain to run on a custom schedule using a mechanical-dial timer with multiple on/off positions. Pick 115V (plug-in) or 230V (hardwired), both in a weather-resistant housing. Timers control the motor only; the light kits handle their own scheduling independently.
- Available Separately - Anchors & Mooring Line: Two anchor weights (or concrete blocks) and two nylon ropes are required to hold the Atriarch in position. These are not included in the package and must be sourced before installation.
- Available Separately - Extended Power Cords: If your breaker panel sits farther from the pond than the factory cord can reach, longer submersible replacement cords are available in the same gauge as the original.
