American-made aeration, fountain, de-icing and muck-control systems trusted for 60+ years.
Scott Aerator Company is a family-owned manufacturer located in Holland, Michigan, near Grand Rapids. Since 1963 we have designed, tested and built pond fountains, water aerators and muck-management equipment that keep ponds and lakes clean, clear and oxygen-rich.
From decorative spray patterns to year-round ice control, every category is engineered in-house so components, parts and support stay consistent across your projects.

Display Fountain Aerator, North Star and Boilermaker surface aerators, plus subsurface diffuser systems for maximum dissolved oxygen.

AquaSweep® Max, Dock Mount and Floating models push muck and debris away from beaches, docks and swim areas.
View AquaSweep®
Natural treatments, weed rakes and shears that complement aeration to reduce algae, aquatic weeds and organic muck.
View Biologics
Bottom-diffused aeration that circulates the entire water column – ideal for deeper ponds and sites without visible spray.
View Subsurface Systems
Dock Mount, Floating and Slinger de-icers protect docks, boat lifts and seawalls from ice damage all winter.
View De-Icers
Still water stratifies: warm surface layers trap heat while the bottom becomes oxygen-depleted. That low-oxygen zone accelerates muck build-up, odors, algae blooms and summer fish kills. Circulating aeration breaks stratification and supports the beneficial bacteria that naturally digest organic sediment.
The same propeller-driven technology serves two seasons. AquaSweep® units direct a powerful current across the lake bottom to clear muck and debris from swim areas and docks; an optional 360° Oscillator widens coverage. In winter, Scott de-icers circulate warmer bottom water upward to keep open water around docks, boat lifts and seawalls.

| System | Best For | Primary Benefit | Typical Setting |
|---|---|---|---|
| Surface Aerator | Shallow to moderate-depth ponds with water-quality problems | High oxygen transfer and circulation | Farm ponds, stormwater ponds, fisheries |
| Decorative Fountain | Visible, high-traffic water features | Curb appeal with surface aeration | HOAs, corporate campuses, golf courses, resorts |
| Subsurface Diffuser | Deeper or irregularly shaped ponds and lakes | Full water-column mixing, no visible spray | Lakes, deep ponds, natural-look sites |
| Solar Aeration | Sites without grid power | Off-grid operation, low running cost | Remote ponds, ranches, parks |
| AquaSweep® Muck Blaster | Muck and debris along shorelines | Cleaner beaches and dock areas | Lakefront homes, marinas, beaches |
| De-Icer | Freezing climates | Protects docks, lifts and seawalls from ice | Docks, boathouses, marinas |
Every site is different. Depth, surface area, water source, power availability and local climate all affect sizing. Contact our team for a project-specific recommendation.
Fountains and aerators keep water hazards and irrigation ponds clean, odor-free and visually striking.
Lighted fountains add evening appeal to community entrances and retention ponds.
Aeration reduces stagnation, algae and odor complaints in public detention basins.
AquaSweep® and de-icers protect shorelines, beaches and dock infrastructure year-round.
Reliable oxygen supports fish health and livestock water quality during hot summers.
Solar aerators and fountains deliver aeration where running power lines is impractical.

Watch VideosIf oxygen and water quality are the priority, choose a surface aerator such as the Display Fountain Aerator, North Star or Boilermaker, or a subsurface diffuser system for deeper water. If visual impact is the priority, a decorative pond fountain adds aeration near the surface while creating a spray pattern. Many commercial properties combine both.
Subsurface diffuser systems release air at the pond bottom and circulate the entire water column, which makes them well suited to deeper ponds and lakes, irregular shapes, and sites where a visible spray is not wanted. Surface aerators move large volumes of water at the top and are often preferred in shallower ponds.
