• Kasco Aerating Fountains are intended for use with a Listed control panel having a GFCI protected receptacle, or field wiring terminals and disconnect switch, or a timer with a disconnect for use with a GFCI receptacle. Control panels MUST be installed by a qualified electrician. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) should be tested upon each installation and every month thereafter to ensure proper operation. -

Low water level High water level After unit is installed in the water, connect the power cord to a properly installed Kasco control panel (C-85, C-95, etc.) with built-in ground fault protection according to the instructions and electrical schematics in- cluded with the panel. - Page 11 Keep clear of the propeller while verifying rotation.

Page 12: Maintenance Recommendations
SACRIFICIAL ANODE: A sacrificial anode is supplied on the shaft of all VFX Model aerators for protection from corrosion and electrolysis. The anode should be updated/replaced if reduced to half the original size or if white in color. -
Page 13: Troubleshooting Tips
“My aerator turns itself off and back on without the timer and without tripping the GFI breaker.” (single phase units only) Each Kasco aerator has a Thermal Overload built in that will turn the unit off when it overheats. Once the unit has cooled down, it will start back up. If you are noticing these symptoms, the unit should be unplugged immediately because the Thermal Overload will continue to turn on and off until it burns out and damages the motor. -
