Updating Your Landcape
Upgrade your landscape to be aesthetically pleasing, with a Kasco Marine VFX Aerating Fountain system in your pond or lake.
Kasco VFX Aerating Fountains are the perfect fountain systems for any size of pond or lake. This fountain will provide an improved water flow and significantly enhance the well being of your pond or lake, ensuring a healthy circulation of water.
Create an aesthetically pleasing view, while adding a strong payload of aeration throughout the water column. If you have had odor, murky water or fish mortality issues, a Kasco VFX Aerating Fountain will remedy those common water quality issues quickly and efficiently.
Kasco Marine VFX Water Height
Kasco VFX Aerating Fountains come standard, with a classic V pattern. They will, typically, deliver a 6' tall by 21' wide pattern. Water height is important to ensure "splash aeration". The width of the water will provide a top water disturbance, in order to keep the water from stagnating. Additionally, water is pulled through the Kasco VFX Aerating Fountain from below the surface of the water, so that the water below the surface keeps moving and stays fully oxygenated. Oxygenation will naturally improve the overall cleanliness of water, as well as improve the health of aquatic animals and beneficial aqua-flora.
Our fountains will operate in as little as 15 inches of water and deeper. They are easy to install and come equipped with a control panel that includes a weatherproof enclosure, as well as a timer, photo-eye and GFI protection. In addition to that, our fountains are clog and corrosion resistant. They feature a water-deflecting nozzle design, finished off with a stainless steel motor and housing.
Kasco VFX Aerating Fountains Are Easy To Maintain
Even better, Kasco VFX Aerating Fountains do not require much maintenance. We suggest cleaning the motor just twice a year and replacing the sacrificial zinc anode when corroded. Both are easy to perform, making sure to be back up and running within 30 minutes.
It is hard to beat the durability and resiliency of a Kasco VFX Aerating Fountain. A purchase that lasts a lifetime will rarely come along. When serviced and properly taken care of, a Kasco VFX Aerating Fountain can do just that. If you are looking for reliability and value in a fountain system, the Kasco VFX Aerating Fountain will make you extremely happy that you decided to purchase one. We hope you enjoy it!

Have you ever walked by a mud puddle with the oil slick on top and smelled the odor?
Although an extreme example, that is what can happen in a pond or lake if it has no water movement above and below the water. Kasco VFX Aerating Fountains pull water from the water column and "blow" it out in a frothy aerating plume that aerates the surface for several hundred feet.
That aeration keeps fish healthy, water clear and beneficial aqua-flora flourishing.
Standard lake fountains are for aesthetic beauty, for the most part. They do supply some surface "splash aeration", but not much total water body aeration (top water and below water level).
Aerating fountains will supply total water body aeration. They are a more valuable asset in aquatic health.
About 6 feet.
In order to aerate deeper than 6 feet, it may be smart to explore bottom aeration that utilizes multiple diffusers to aerate the entire water column from the bottom up.
If the water ices over regularly where you live, then we suggest removing the fountain for the winter months. If not, continue running the unit 24/7.
The manufacturer suggests that when sizing a Kasco VFX Aerating Fountain, sizing should be 1.5 HP per surface acre.
Kasco VFX Aerating Fountains come with mooring ropes, in order to tie off/down the unit that is floating on top of the water.
This rarely happens!
The unit has a bottom screen, in order to keep large debris out of the body of the fountain. Should any debris actually get through the screen, it will simply be expelled through the top of the unit.
This is a question that we get often.
Although an easy to DIY install, we can direct you to a wide variety of installers in or around your area. Call 800-493-4831 for a consultation with a lake management specialist and he/she can direct you to a local installer.
