Some Kasco models operate in depths as low as 15‑19 inches (≈ 1.25‑1.6 ft) depending on model.
What benefits will I see besides aesthetics?
You’ll get improved circulation, increased dissolved oxygen, reduction of stratification, fewer odors, and better health for fish and plants.
What is the power/amp draw to watch out for?
Amp draw varies by model/voltage. For example, 1 HP 120 V units draw around 11.3 amps. (Model: 4400AF)
Is installation difficult?
No—the unit floats, is moored with 2‑3 ropes, and has a single power cord returning to shore. Setup can be done by one person.
What maintenance is required?
Periodically clean the motor housing, check the sacrificial anode for corrosion, inspect moorings and power cord. Low maintenance overall.

How many cord length options are available?
Power cord lengths are available from 50 ft up to 400 ft depending on application and model.
Will it fit small ponds or is it only for large lakes?
