    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 11: Troubleshooting Tips

    “My Aerator turns itself off and back on without the timer and without tripping the GFCI 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.
