MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
Under NO CIRCUMSTANCE should anyone enter the water while a fountain is operating.
The following maintenance procedures can be utilized to ensure many years of quality performance from
your Kasco fountain and light kit and reduce the need for more costly repair work. Note that the LED
fixtures are sealed and do not require any maintenance other than cleaning. Do not attempt to open light
fixtures, as this will void the warranty.
Proper Installation
Installation of the LED light fixtures on aerating fountain units with the mounting brackets oriented as
shown will ensure proper submersion of the light fixtures. Each fixture must be partially submerged in
order for lights to operate properly. Other applications for these fixtures must provide at least the same
submersion to properly cool the fixture.
Operating the fixtures out of water will damage the LED and void
warranty.
Proper installation of Kasco equipment will include a power source with ground fault protection.
The control panel included with the equipment has built-in ground fault protection for both the fountain
and the lighting kit. Ground fault interrupters are a safety feature that can also alert you to electrical leaks
in the equipment. If you have repeat, consistent trips of the ground fault device, the equipment should
be disconnected and removed from the water. The power cord should be inspected for damage, and you
should contact your distributor or contact Kasco at 715.262.4488 or [email protected] for further
instructions. A complete list of control panels can be found in the Accessories section of
.
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.
Winter Storage
In regions where there is significant freezing in the wintertime, the light kit should be removed from the
water to protect it from the expansion pressure of ice. Storage over winter is best in a location that is out of
the sun and cool, but above 32° F.
Cleaning
Light kits 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. The light fixture surfaces dissipate heat into the water, and
any algae, calcium, or other build-up will become an insulator that blocks heat transfer and may lead to
overheating and damage. Keeping the lenses clean will also ensure the brightest light possible.
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
The following is provided to help diagnose a probable source of trouble. It is a guideline only and may not
show all causes for all problems. For additional troubleshooting help, contact your local distributor or visit
for additional guidance. Note: you may need to refer to your owner’s manual that was
provided with your fountain for additional control panel settings and adjustments.
“My light kit is installed and wired but will not turn on.”
Ensure control panel is connected to the electrical circuit. Verify circuit breakers, timers, and/or interlock
switches are turned on and functional. Refer to your owner’s manual that was provided with the fountain.
It may not be dark enough for the photo eye on the control panel to activate.
