MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS

DO NOT ENTER THE WATER with the electrical equipment plugged in and/ or in operation. 

Please keep the original box for maintenance shipping. 

Proper Installation 

Ensure a power source with ground fault protection. Test the protection 

device upon installation, after each re-installation, and monthly thereafter to ensure proper 

operation. In the event of repeated trips, disconnected the equipment and it from the water. 

Inspect the power cord for damage and consult a qualified electrician.

Observation

 Observe operating equipment regularly for any variation in performance. If you 

observe a change in performance, disconnect the equipment from its power source and inspect 

for any material that may have wrapped around the shaft of the motor, especially plastic bags and 

fishing line. Remove these as soon as possible.

Winter Storage 

In regions where there is significant freezing , remove the circulator from the 

water in wintertime. Store the unit out of the sun and above freezing temperatures. During the 

offseason, store the unit on its side to help prevent the seals from drying out.

Cleaning 

Remove circulators from the water at least once per year to clean the exterior of the 

system, especially the stainless steel motor housing (can) to avoid build-up of algae, calcium, or 

other materials. This buildup can lead to overheating. In warmer regions, Kasco recommends 

removing the motor and cleaning it at least two to three times per year, depending on conditions. 

Seal & Oil Replacement

 

Replace the seals and change the oil every three years. In warmer 

climates where the circulator runs most or all of the year, replace seals more regularly than you 

would need to in colder climates. 

Sacrificial Anode

 

A sacrificial anode on the shaft of the circulator protects equipment from 

corrosion and electrolysis. Replace the anode if it is reduced to half the original size or if it is white 

in color. Check the anode at least every two to three months. 

Repair services should be performed by Kasco Marine or a Kasco authorized repair center. 

Any unauthorized alterations or to Kasco units will void the warranty. Please contact Kasco for 

information on your nearest Authorized Repair Center.
