Aqua Control Select Series 2 Aerator (230V/3P) – Crown Gusher

Aqua Control Select Series 2 Aerator (230V/3P) – 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 — this three-phase model is the right choice for commercial, municipal, and golf course sites with 230V three-phase service.

Key Specifications

• Motor: 1, 2, 3, or 5 HP, 230V three-phase (5 / 9 / 12 / 20 amps respectively, per Aqua Control's 60Hz motor chart — lower current draw than the single-phase equivalent)
• Pumping rate: 250–500 GPM depending on HP — display aerators move far more water than a standard decorative fountain
• Construction: high-strength composite pump components with lightweight propellers that reduce motor stress, plus an easy-clean composite suction screen
• Configurations: vertical (32–44 in minimum depth), or horizontal for shallow water (operates in as little as 28 in)
• Includes: motor unit, float, suction screen, quick disconnect, and control panel with a circuit for one light set
• Cord length: 100 ft or 200 ft underwater-rated power cable
• Warranty: 3-year manufacturer's warranty
• Made in the USA by Aqua Control, Inc.

Crown Gusher spray performance by horsepower

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 feature ponds, 2–3 HP for typical commercial, golf course, or campus ponds up to about an acre, and 5 HP where you want maximum presence and mixing on larger water. If your site has standard single-phase power instead, see the single-phase Select Series 2 lineup; for a taller, more defined decorative display rather than maximum water movement, look at the Select Series fountains.

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.

What is the difference between the single-phase and three-phase models?
Performance is identical — same spray pattern, pumping rate, and warranty. The 230V three-phase version draws fewer amps per horsepower (5–20 A versus 10–28 A single-phase) and suits commercial, municipal, and golf course sites that already have three-phase electrical service. If your site only has standard single-phase power, choose the single-phase model instead.

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.

Which horsepower should I choose for my pond?
As a rule of thumb, 1 HP suits smaller residential ponds, 2–3 HP suits typical HOA, golf, or farm ponds up to about an acre, and 5 HP suits larger water where maximum presence and mixing are wanted.
