Scott Aerator: 60 Years of Water in Motion
As a leading manufacturer of high-quality fountains and pond aerators, we are proud to celebrate 60 years in business in 2023. Founded in 1963 by William Scott, the company’s ½ hp dock aerator quickly proved to be effective and highly reliable. This remained the company’s sole product for more than 20 years until John Van Kampen Sr., the father of current owner John Van Kampen, purchased the business in 1988 and introduced the fountain product line. Today, the company has been passed down through three generations of family ownership and has grown into a leading manufacturer of fountains and pond aerators sold across the United States and around the world.
Scott Aerator’s success over the years has come from developing products manufactured right here in Michigan that restore and enhance the natural beauty of ponds, lakes, and beachfronts. Our products are not only easy to install and environmentally friendly (with no oil), but they also help create healthier ecosystems, reduce the need for manual labor, and allow property owners to enjoy more time on the water.
We offer a wide range of highly customizable fountains and aerators, including options for color-changing fountain lights and solar panels. Our products can be tailored to fit any size or shape of water feature. We serve corporate offices, government buildings, marinas, condominium complexes, golf courses, and private residences throughout North and South America, as well as Europe and the Middle East.
“Our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction has been the foundation of our business since day one, and we are grateful for the support of our loyal customers and partners who have helped us reach this milestone,” said President John Van Kampen.
Scott Aerator Company’s primary focus is to provide you, our customers, with the highest-quality pond fountains and water aerators on the market.
