Frequent Questions:
Which Horsepower Should I Choose?
For optimal aeration coverage, you should use 1 HP per acre of pond size as an absolute minimum. For a truly spectacular display, it's well worth it to go as big as you can—higher horsepower motors produce a larger, more robust spray.
Which Voltage Should I Use?
This will depend on the type of power available at your pond. 120V motors will plug into any standard residential outlet, while 240V motors are hardwired directly to a panel.
How Do I Install The Fountain?
If you already have power near the pond, installing your fountain is simple. The fountain floats in the water and is anchored on two sides using nylon rope. Attach the anchoring ropes to the float’s eye bolts, then secure them to cement blocks (for bottom anchoring) or ground stakes (for shore anchoring). From there, it's just plugging in or hardwiring the unit to your power source.
How Long Should I Run The Fountain?
If water quality management is the goal, we recommend running the fountain 24 hours a day. If it’s purely for decoration, feel free to run it whenever you like.
Should I Remove The Fountain Before Winter?
Kasco fountains must be removed from the pond before temperatures reach below freezing. This is a good time to inspect and clean the unit before winter storage.
Do I Need To Clean The Fountain?
You should periodically clean the fountain to keep it going strong. If you notice a drop in performance over time, that's a good sign the unit needs to be cleaned. Disconnect the power, remove it from the pond and clear out the debris basket and nozzle.
Will A Fountain Aerate My Pond?
Yes, a fountain will absolutely aerate your pond. While they only circulate about 8 feet deep, they excel at surface agitation and directly introducing oxygen into the water. For this reason, they are one of the most effective types of aerators for increasing oxygen & tackling stubborn algae, no matter the depth of the pond.
How Do The Light Kits Work?
Kasco light kits attach to the fountain’s float in just minutes. Each kit includes its own power cord and plugs into the provided control panel.
Do I Need A Pump Timer?
No, all Kasco fountains already include a control panel which functions as a timer for the fountain and lighting kits.
