Aqua Control Select Series 2 Aerator (230V/1P) – Crown Gusher is a high-output display aerator that produces a dense, conical, high-flow spray while moving large volumes of water for circulation and oxygen transfer. Because the pattern is tall but narrow, it is one of the best choices for narrow ponds, small coves, and channels where a wide-spread pattern would overshoot the shoreline. Built on the Select Series 2 platform — Aqua Control's highest-pumping-rate aerator line — it improves pond health while delivering a striking display.

Crown Gusher spray performance by horsepower
| HP | Spray height | Spray diameter | Output | Min. depth (vertical) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 HP | 9 ft | 12 ft | 250 GPM | 32 in |
| 2 HP | 11 ft | 16 ft | 350 GPM | 44 in |
| 3 HP | 15 ft | 22 ft | 450 GPM | 44 in |
| 5 HP | 20 ft | 27 ft | 500 GPM | 44 in |
All horizontal-configuration models operate in a minimum of 28 inches of water — the right choice for shallow retention and stormwater ponds. Performance figures are from Aqua Control’s official 60Hz specification chart.
Which pond is it right for?
The Select Series 2 platform suits ponds of roughly a quarter acre and up. Choose 1 HP for smaller residential ponds, 2–3 HP for typical HOA, golf course, or farm ponds up to about an acre, and 5 HP where you want maximum presence and mixing on larger water. If your pond is under a quarter acre, the compact Aqua Control Evolution Series is a better fit; if you want a taller, more defined decorative display rather than maximum water movement, look at the Select Series fountains. Not sure which model fits your pond? Email Info@fountaindepot.com with your pond's size, depth, and distance to power — our recommendations are backed by 50+ years of fountain installation and service experience.
Complete the installation
Add Aqua Control 30W or 80W stainless steel LED light sets to run the Crown Gusher after dark — the included control panel already has a circuit for one light set. Browse the full Select Series 2 aerator lineup to compare all patterns.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Crown Gusher pattern look like?
The Crown Gusher produces a dense, conical, high-flow spray. Because the pattern is tall but narrow, it is one of the best choices for narrow ponds, small coves, and channels where a wide-spread pattern would overshoot the shoreline.
Can it run in a shallow pond?
Yes — in the horizontal configuration the Select Series 2 operates in as little as 28 inches of water (versus 32–44 inches for vertical, per Aqua Control's 60Hz chart), making it suitable for shallow retention and stormwater ponds.
How long does delivery take in Canada?
Fountain Depot ships Aqua Control equipment across Canada, typically arriving in 5 to 10 business days depending on your province.
Can I add lights to this fountain?
Yes — the included control panel has a circuit for one light set. Aqua Control 30W and 80W stainless steel LED kits from Fountain Depot connect directly.
Manuals & drawings
What is a display aerator?
Aqua Control's term for a fountain that earns its keep twice - it throws a spray pattern worth looking at, and the same water movement drives oxygen into the pond.
The Select Series is display-first. Select Series 2 is the line to choose when the water has a problem and you also want it to look good.
What horsepower and patterns are available?
Select Series 2 runs from 1 to 7.5 HP with 17 spray patterns across the range - a wider ceiling than the 1 to 5 HP Select Series.
Size on surface acreage and depth first, then choose the pattern. Send us those numbers and we will spec it.
Is a control panel included?
Aqua Control builds a matched Select Series 2 control panel covering 1 to 7.5 HP, and panels are sold separately for every Aqua Control application.
Whether one is bundled depends on how the unit is configured, so confirm with us before ordering rather than assuming either way.
Does a display aerator replace bottom aeration?
Not on deep water. Any surface unit works the top few feet of the column - below roughly eight feet the water can still stratify and go anoxic through a hot Ontario August.
On deeper ponds, pair it with diffused aeration, or run both on larger water.
Single-phase or three-phase?
Built in both. Residential and most rural sites are single-phase; golf courses, municipal sites and larger commercial properties are often three-phase.
Check the supply at your power source before ordering - it determines which unit you receive, not just the plug.
Do I need to remove it for a Canadian winter?
Yes. A floating unit should come out before freeze-up - ice will damage the float and can shear it.
For winter water movement, use a de-icer, or run diffused aeration which stays on the bank.
