Scott Aerator Solar Boilermaker Aerator | Solar Powered Pond Aerator | 1/2 or 3/4 HP, 2 or 4 Panel

The Solar Boilermaker Aerator does one job well: move a lot of water, entirely on solar power, with no battery bank in between. It's designed for remote ponds where running electricity isn't practical — farms, rural properties, hunting land, ponds far from any outbuilding. The 2-panel system runs a 1/2 hp variable-speed motor that moves 200 gallons per minute. The 4-panel system steps up to a 3/4 hp motor and 300 GPM. Both use high-efficiency mono-crystalline panels that bring the motor up to speed gradually as morning light builds. At these flow rates, the Boilermaker does real aeration work — surface algae and floating debris get broken up, oxygen exchange accelerates, dissolved oxygen levels improve throughout the pond. Higher oxygen levels help fish, speed up decomposition of organic matter on the bottom, and reduce the muck layer over time. The design is deliberately low-profile. There's no decorative spray pattern — the Boilermaker sits at or just below the surface and pushes water outward in a boil pattern. One thing worth mentioning: the Boilermaker works as a de-icer in winter. The surface currents keep water moving and help prevent ice formation around the unit. When the season ends, just cut the power. Leave the aerator in the water. No draining, no storage, no spring prep beyond reconnecting power. Requires a minimum pond depth of 36 inches (2-panel) or 44 inches (4-panel). You'll supply the vertical pole, a concrete footing, and two 30-pound anchor weights. GFCI protection required. 2-Panel includes: Boilermaker Aerator, two 340-watt mono-crystalline solar panels with frame, disconnect box, Fhoton drive solar inverter, 70 feet of 12-gauge submersible cable, all wiring. 4-Panel includes the same with four panels. Cord lengths of 100, 150, and 200 feet available for both configurations. Key Features No grid power needed — runs directly off solar panels during daylight; powers up with the sun, shuts down at dusk High-volume circulation — 200 GPM (2-panel / 1/2 hp) or 300 GPM (4-panel / 3/4 hp) No batteries required — variable-speed motor adjusts to available sunlight; no battery bank to maintain or replace Doubles as a pond de-icer — surface currents keep ice from forming in winter; no separate de-icer needed Winterization-free — leave it in the water when the pond freezes; all components survive sub-zero temperatures Oil-free stainless steel motor — no oil changes, no fluid maintenance; doesn't introduce contaminants into your pond 5-year motor warranty — Scott Aerator backs the motor on both configurations Works in fresh and saltwater Simple to install — complete system with panels, frame, inverter, disconnect box, and all wiring (two anchor ropes with weights or tethers for the fountain not provided) Two configurations available — 2-panel (1/2 hp, 200 GPM) or 4-panel (3/4 hp, 300 GPM) Specifications 2-Panel Solar Boilermaker (1/2 hp) Motor: 1/2 hp, 48V, three-phase, 60 Hz, 10.3A, 0.37 kW Flow rate: 200 GPM Panels: Two 340-watt 60-cell mono-crystalline (41" x 69" each) Minimum pond depth: 36 inches Cable: 12-gauge submersible, 70 feet standard 4-Panel Solar Boilermaker (3/4 hp) Motor: 3/4 hp, 100V, three-phase, 60 Hz, 8.6A, 0.55 kW Flow rate: 300 GPM Panels: Four 340-watt 60-cell mono-crystalline (41" x 69" each) Minimum pond depth: 44 inches Cable: 12-gauge submersible, 70 feet standard Assembly & Documentation Boilermaker Aerator Assembly (PDF) Solar Aerator Assembly — 2-Panel Models (PDF) Solar Aerator Assembly — 4-Panel Models (PDF) Anchoring Instructions (PDF)
