Maintenance Recommendations

** Under No Circumstances should anyone enter the 

water while a fountain is operating. **

** Please keep the original box for maintenance ship-

ping. **

The following maintenance procedures can be utilized 

to ensure many years of quality performance from 

your Kasco Fountain and reduce the need for more 

costly repair work.

PROPER INSTALLATION:  Proper installation of 

Kasco equipment will include a power source with 

ground fault interruption (GFI).  For Fountain mod-

els, the C-25 control (120V) included with the unit 

has built-in ground fault interruption that is sufficient.  

Ground fault interrupters are a safety feature that can 

also alert you to electrical leaks in the equipment.  It is 

extremely important to test the GFI upon installation, 

each reinstallation, and monthly thereafter to ensure 

proper operation.  If you have repeat, consistent trips 

on your ground fault, the equipment should be discon-

nected and removed from the water.  The power cord 

should be inspected for damage and you should call 

Kasco Marine at 715-262-4488 for further instructions 

or email Kasco at [email protected].

OBSERVATION:  Operating equipment should be 

observed on a regular basis (daily, if possible) for any 

reduction or variation in performance.  If a change 

in performance is observed, the equipment should be 

disconnected from power and inspected for any ma-

terial that may have clogged the system or wrapped 

around the shaft of the motor, especially plastic bags 

and fishing line.  Even though Kasco Aerators and 

Fountains are among the most clog-resistant on the 

market, it is impossible to protect against all items that 

can clog equipment and still maintain a flow of water.  

These materials can be very damaging to the equip-

ment under continued operation and must be removed 

as soon as possible.  ALWAYS UNPLUG THE UNIT 

BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE CLOGS.

WINTER STORAGE:  In regions where there is 

significant freezing in the wintertime, the fountains 

should be removed from the water to protect them 

from the expansion pressure of the ice.  In many areas, 

fountains will keep some amount of ice open through 

the winter.  However, when the water is thrust into the 

air, it is exposed to the colder air temperatures longer 

and can actually make ice thicker on the pond/lake.  

Storage over winter is best in a location that is out of 

the sun and cool, but above 32

O

F.  It is not necessary 

to store Kasco motors upside down.  All internal seals 

are fully lubricated while stored in an upright position.

CLEANING:  Fountains should be removed from the 

water at least once per year (at the end of the season 

in cold climates) to clean the exterior of the system, 

especially the stainless steel motor housing (can).  The 

motor housing is the surface that dissipates heat into 

the water and any algae, calcium, etc. build-up will be-

come an insulator that blocks heat transfer.  In warmer 

regions it is recommended that the motor is removed 

and cleaned at least two to three times per year de-

pending on conditions.  In most cases a power washer 

will be sufficient if the unit and algae are still wet.

SEAL AND OIL REPLACEMENT:  This is a sealed 

motor assembly and seals will wear out over time 

(similar to brake pads on a car).  Replacement of the 

seals and a change of oil after three years may add 

longevity to the operation of the motor, saving you the 

cost of more expensive repairs.  In warmer climates 

where the fountain runs most or all of the year, it is 

a good idea to replace seals more regularly than you 

would need to in colder climates where the unit is 

removed from the water for several months.

ZINC ANODE:  A Sacrificial Zinc Anode is supplied 

on the shaft for protection of the equipment from cor-

rosion and electrolysis.  The zinc anode should be up-

dated (replaced) if reduced to half the original size or 

if white in color.  Corrosion from electrolysis is more 

commonly associated with saltwater or brackish water, 

but as a matter of precaution, it is important to periodi-

cally check the zinc anode in all installations (at least 

every two to three months).

Seal replacement and all other repair services should 

be performed by Kasco Marine or a Kasco trained 

Authorized Repair Center.  Any alterations or changes 

made to Kasco units by an unauthorized source will 

void the warranty.  This includes tampering with the 

unit, power cord, and/or control box.  Please contact 

Kasco Marine, Inc. at 715-262-4488 for your nearest 

Authorized Repair Center.
