Description
The Scott Aerator Skyward Fountain (SKU 13006, 1 HP 230V) creates a wide, cone-shaped spray pattern surrounding a powerful 30-foot center column — one of the most visually dramatic display patterns in the Scott Aerator lineup. The side jets spread 35 feet in diameter, filling a large lake or pond with a bold, continuously adjustable display. The all-stainless, oil-free submersible motor runs 24 hours a day, year-round, in fresh or salt water, with zero required maintenance and an unconditional 5-year motor warranty. Manufactured in Holland, Michigan, USA.
The 230V configuration delivers the same spray performance as the 115V model with significantly lower amp draw, making it the correct choice for the 200-foot cord run and any installation where the electrical supply point is further from the fountain. 230V requires an L6-20 plug and a dedicated 20-amp double-pole GFCI breaker — not a standard household outlet.

Scott Aerator Skyward — Full HP Lineup
Why the Scott Aerator Skyward 1 HP 230V?
- The Skyward's wide cone spray + tall center column fills any lake scene. Unlike a single-stream geyser fountain, the Skyward creates a dual-effect display: a central precision column reaching 30 feet (adjustable to lower heights by restricting the nozzle), surrounded by angled side jets spreading 35 feet in diameter. The combination fills horizontal space as well as vertical height, making the Skyward recognizable from much greater distances than a narrow single-stream design.
- Oil-free motor — never needs servicing. Scott Aerator's motors are water-cooled and water-lubricated — there is no oil in the motor housing. Without oil to change, seals to check, or lubricants to replace, the motor requires zero maintenance throughout its operational life. The 5-year unconditional warranty reflects the confidence Scott Aerator places in this design.
- Year-round, all-season operation — no winterizing. The Skyward is engineered to be left in the pond throughout winter. Simply disconnect power when ice forms. All stainless steel and polymer components withstand sub-zero temperatures without damage. Reconnect power when the pond thaws in spring. No removal, no storage, no spring reinstallation.
- 230V at 200 feet means no voltage drop on long runs. At 200 feet of cord length, a 115V motor would experience significant voltage drop, reducing pump performance and potentially shortening motor life. 230V halves the amperage on the same wire gauge, virtually eliminating voltage drop at this cord length. For any installation where the electrical supply is 100+ feet from the fountain, 230V is the technically correct choice.
- Adjustable center spray height. The all-brass precision nozzle allows the center column to be reduced in height by restricting the center orifice — without any tools — to suit different wind conditions, visual preferences, or pond proportions. The side jets are also adjustable. This in-field adjustability is standard across all Scott Aerator fountain models.
- Salt water approved. The stainless steel motor housing, float hardware, and nozzle are all compatible with salt water or brackish water installations without any additional corrosion protection. No upgrade kit or extra equipment required.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the electrical requirements for the 1 HP 230V Skyward with 200' cord?
The 1 HP 230V Skyward requires:
- 230V single-phase power supply
- L6-20 twist-lock plug (not a standard household outlet)
- Dedicated 20-amp double-pole GFCI breaker
- Wiring run from the fountain to the breaker panel using appropriately sized wire for the run distance — always consult a licensed electrician
The 230V configuration draws approximately 8.2 amps (verify with Scott Aerator for the 1HP model) — roughly half the amperage of a comparable 115V motor. This lower amperage is why 230V is the correct choice at 200-foot cord lengths: it eliminates voltage drop that would degrade performance and motor longevity at 115V over the same distance. Never use an extension cord to supply power to the motor.
How high is the spray on the Skyward 1 HP model?
The 1 HP Skyward produces a center column reaching up to 30 feet, adjustable downward. The side jets create an angled cone spray pattern 35 feet in diameter (also adjustable). Both the center height and side jet angle can be reduced in the field by adjusting the all-brass precision nozzle — no tools required.
For comparison: the ½ HP Skyward reaches 20 feet center / 35 ft wide; the 1½ HP reaches 40 feet center / 50+ ft wide; the 3 HP reaches 50 feet center / 70 ft wide. Call us to discuss which HP size is right for your pond: (765) 508-4352.
Does the Skyward Fountain provide real aeration benefit?
Yes — the Skyward circulates approximately 75 GPM of water through its oil-free pump motor. By continuously drawing water from beneath the float and projecting it into the air, the Skyward creates significant surface agitation and oxygen transfer across the spray contact zone. This improves dissolved oxygen levels, reduces thermal stratification, and discourages stagnant zones where algae and mosquito larvae thrive.
For maximum aeration efficiency across large ponds (over 1 acre), a dedicated surface aerator like the Scott Aerator DA-20 or Kasco AF-series provides substantially higher water movement. The Skyward is best described as a display fountain with beneficial aeration properties rather than a primary aerator.
Can I leave the Skyward in the water during winter?
Yes — the Skyward is specifically designed to remain in the pond year-round. Simply shut the fountain off and leave it in the water when winter arrives. All stainless steel, polymer, and nozzle components withstand sub-zero temperatures and freeze-thaw cycles without damage. When the pond thaws in spring, restore power and the fountain resumes normal operation. No winterizing products, no removal, no spring reinstallation procedures.
If you prefer to run the fountain through mild winter conditions to maintain an open water hole, the 24/7 operational design supports continuous use.
What anchoring equipment is required, and is it included?
Two anchoring weights and two nylon ropes are required for installation — they are not included with the fountain. Scott Aerator specifies two 20-pound weights or concrete blocks, attached with nylon ropes (not included) to the stainless steel eyebolts on the float platform. The weights prevent the fountain from drifting and ensure the cord runs along the pond floor to the edge without pulling on the motor or creating an untidy hazard on the water surface.
Contact us at (765) 508-4352 to add anchoring accessories to your order, or source 20-lb weights and nylon rope locally.
Is this fountain compatible with Scott Aerator LED lighting kits?
Yes. Scott Aerator LED lighting kits attach directly to the float platform — no modifications needed. For the 1 HP model, a 2-light LED set is recommended (for 1 HP and below). Light sets are available in warm white or color-changing (14 colors with remote control). Lights run on 110V with their own power cord and digital timer — separate from the fountain's 230V supply. Lights can be purchased now or added later. Call us to add a lighting kit: (765) 508-4352.
What makes the Scott Aerator motor different from oil-filled competitors?
Scott Aerator motors are water-cooled and water-lubricated — there is no oil inside. Competing brands use oil-filled motors, which require periodic oil changes, risk oil seal failures, and can leak petroleum products into the pond if a seal fails — posing a risk to fish, amphibians, and aquatic life. Scott Aerator's oil-free design eliminates these risks entirely and requires zero internal maintenance. The motor is cooled and lubricated by the surrounding pond water, the same water the fountain is designed to oxygenate. This is what Scott Aerator means by "most environmentally friendly fountain on the market," and it's backed by the industry-leading 5-year unconditional motor warranty.
What is the difference between the Skyward and Amherst fountain patterns?
Both are Scott Aerator single-nozzle display fountains with oil-free motors, 5-year warranties, and salt water approval. The difference is in the spray pattern:
- Skyward: Wide cone-shaped display — a broad, angled side jet pattern (35 ft diameter at 1HP) surrounds a center column (30 ft at 1HP). The cone shape creates a wide horizontal spread, filling a large lake scene from many viewing angles.
- Amherst: Taller, narrower column with a distinct tiered pattern — the center stream reaches higher relative to its spread. Best viewed from closer distances where the vertical height creates the most impact.
For large, open lakes where the fountain is viewed from a distance across the water, the Skyward's wide cone pattern is typically more impressive. For smaller residential ponds where height creates drama in a tighter visual space, the Amherst is often preferred. Call us to discuss: (765) 508-4352.
