Fountain/aerator for Polaris UWF?

[Rocket J Squirrel]

Is there a fountain/aerator product available that attaches to the Universal Wall Fitting used by Polaris pressure cleaners? I searched but did not find.

I have no PVC skills, so would rather buy than build.

@JamesW thanks for the quick reply. Sadly, those WaterStars appear to have been discontinued. They appear in the "Product Archive" section of the Jandy site.

Here is what someone else did…

Cooling pool. Is there a fountain that will fit in the polaris port?

We are having record temperatures and my pool is way to hot! Feels like a hot bath. This is an inground 16*32 that goes from 3ft shallow end to 8 ft deep. I have a bottom drain, one skimmer, 2 returns and a polaris return. The pool does not currently have a booster pump and the polaris return...

Note that the booster pump needs to operate at higher pressure or it will move too much water, which will cause it to use too many amps and overheat.

The maximum flow is about 22 gpm at 90 feet of head, which is about 39 psi.

If the pressure is less than about 40 psi, the pump will begin to use more amps than the motor label and this will cause the motor to get too hot and possibly shut down or burn up.

Even the WaterStars Fountain would probably not work using the booster pump.

The instructions say to use the Pool Return line, not the Polaris line.

A reviewer indicates this would work:

The Instant Pool Water Jet Fountain - Hammacher Schlemmer

This is the color-changing, dynamotor-powered waterfall fountain that imparts visual ambiance to a swimming pool without batteries or an electrical connection.

His review is vague. "Had to unscrew my Polaris hose connection." Does that mean he just unplugged the Polaris from the UWC, or he had to remove the UWC? Unscrewing sounds like removal.

Polaris fitting just threads into a standard 1.5" fitting.
