5 HP, 240V, Single Phase, 300' Cord. Pattern 9'H x 34'W
Operation
- Submersed motor with top intake draws water into the fountain housing and pushes the water past the deflector disc and into the air
- Individual water droplets absorb oxygen from the atmosphere and return to the body of water transferring oxygen from the air and into the water
- Moving water mixes and agitates the water spreading oxygenated water throughout the body of water
- Single propeller and deflector disc designs allows for greater water flow with a lower likelihood of clogging
- Thermoplastic bottom screen helps protect the motor from clogging
