Raises dissolved oxygen levels and stops fish kills in their tracks: A real-world Kasco case study showed measurable D.O. improvement across an entire 800,000-gallon pond within approximately 8 hours of turning the unit on
Delivers the highest oxygen transfer rate in its class: These self-contained units transfer up to 3.0 lbs of oxygen per horsepower per hour of operation
Breaks up thermal stratification so the entire water column benefits, not just the surface: Water is pulled from 360 degrees around and below the unit, thrust into the air, and returned to the pond thoroughly mixed from top to bottom
Eliminates foul pond odors caused by stagnant, oxygen-depleted water: Continuous oxygen introduction and water movement removes the anaerobic conditions responsible for rotten-egg and swamp smells
Discourages algae blooms without chemicals: Keeping the water oxygenated and moving creates conditions that are hostile to the runaway algae and nuisance vegetation that thrive in stagnant ponds
Reduces mosquito and leech activity around your pond: Adequate dissolved oxygen levels discourage the conditions that nuisance insects require to breed and thrive
Runs continuously as a workhorse aerator, not just on demand: Engineered and proven for continuous duty operation on fish farms, aquaculture facilities, and recreational water features alike
Scales to any pond size from a backyard feature up to a commercial lagoon: Available in six motor sizes from half HP to 5 HP covering a wide range of applications including retention ponds, leachate ponds, industrial lagoons, and marina entrances
Operates in shallow water that rules out other aerators: The half HP and three-quarter HP models require a minimum depth of just 17.5 inches, the 1 HP requires 19 inches, and the 2 HP requires 20 inches
The smaller units install and move without heavy equipment or a crew: The half, three-quarter, and 1 HP sizes can be installed and repositioned by one person
Power cord reaches far from shore without an electrician: Cord lengths available from 50 feet up to 500 feet depending on model and voltage, with optional flex sleeve cord protector to guard against abrasion
Handles fluctuating water levels without repositioning: Floating design rises and falls with the water automatically, with an alternate anchoring method available for ponds with significant level changes
Protects itself from corrosion in saltwater and brackish water: Stainless steel components throughout and a sacrificial zinc anode on the shaft guard against electrolytic corrosion in harsh environments
Motor housing stays clean and efficient with minimal effort: Annual power washing of the stainless steel motor housing removes algae and calcium buildup that would otherwise block heat transfer and cause overheating
Seals and oil replacement extends motor life well beyond the warranty period: Replacing the seals and changing the oil after three years prevents more expensive motor repairs, particularly in warmer climates where the unit runs year round
Built-in thermal overload protection prevents motor damage from overheating: The motor automatically shuts off if it runs too hot and restarts once it cools down, protecting the unit even when no one is watching
Protects the motor from electrical faults: ETL Listed as a complete package to UL and CSA safety standards, with GFCI protection required and built into optional control panels
Control panels allow automated scheduling from shore: Optional control panels allow timing and lighting to be managed remotely without going to the water
Compatible with WaterGlow LED lighting kits for evening display: LED lighting packages attach separately to illuminate the aerating spray after dark
Can be paired with Pond Probiotics for compounding water quality results: Kasco recommends combining surface aeration with their beneficial bacteria treatments for maximum pond health improvement
Available with NSF certification for sensitive or regulated applications: The 2 HP and 5 HP units are available with NSF certification for municipal and industrial use
Backed by a manufacturer warranty with an optional extended coverage upgrade: 2 years on the half through 1 HP units, 3 years on the 2 through 5 HP units, with an optional 5-year warranty available on larger models
Supported by a company with over 55 years in water management: Kasco Marine has been manufacturing water management equipment since 1968 and maintains a nationwide network of authorized repair centers
