Scott Aerator Dock-Mounted AquaSweep™
High-Velocity Dock-Mounted Muck, Weed & Algae Control System
The Scott Aerator Dock-Mounted AquaSweep™ is a high-velocity water propulsion system engineered to improve water clarity and bottom conditions around docks, shorelines, canals, and swimming areas. By generating a powerful, directional current, the AquaSweep effectively moves muck, silt, algae, decaying leaves, and organic debris away from problem areas — without chemicals, dredging, or harmful additives.
Designed and manufactured in the USA, the AquaSweep has been a proven solution for over 20 years. It is trusted by waterfront property owners for its durability, performance, and long-term reliability. The unit mounts directly to your dock and operates quietly beneath the water’s surface, providing continuous circulation and debris displacement.

Mounting Options
The AquaSweep can be installed in three different configurations. The mounting method selected determines how the unit performs for specific applications.
- Dock Mount: Includes a stainless steel mounting plate or dock-post bracket with a stainless yoke assembly capable of reaching depths up to 7 feet. Ideal for lake-bottom muck and sediment control.
- Floating: Uses a high-density polyurethane float with stainless steel hardware to generate strong surface currents. Best suited for moving surface debris and improving circulation (not intended for bottom muck removal).
- Freestanding: Utilizes an 8 ft post driven into the lake bottom with a 4-prong ground bracket. Offers flexible placement and can be relocated or shared between neighboring properties.
Control & Coverage
Directional control can be adjusted manually or automated using optional accessories. Placement, depth, and aiming angle all affect overall performance.
Optional Oscillator 360°: The fully programmable Oscillator 360° automatically rotates the AquaSweep through a user-defined radius (up to a full 360°). It can be added to new or existing dock-mounted and freestanding AquaSweep units and is factory pre-programmed to rotate in 20° increments every 20 minutes.
Fully Programmable Oscillator 360 allows you to set any rotation radius up to a full circle. Once programmed, the AquaSweep repeats the cycle automatically until adjusted or powered off.
Note: The Oscillator 360 is compatible with dock-mounted and freestanding AquaSweep and De-Icer models (not floating). Made in the USA and backed by a two-year unconditional warranty.
Effective Range: Performance varies based on water depth, obstructions, shoreline contours, and bottom conditions. Units must always be powered off when swimmers are present.

Electrical Requirements
- GFCI-protected outlet required
- Extension cords must not be used
- Total distance from power source must not exceed manufacturer recommendations
- 115V models operate on standard 110–120V household power
