Kasco Floating Fountain 2400VFX 1/2 HP 4 Solar Panels with Controller
Capitalize on the unbeatable strength of Kasco products driven by the sun. This technology is easy to use and more powerful than anything on the market and is designed for use in applications spanning from farm ponds to harsh industrial environments. These patented controllers come solar + grid blender options. They are an all-in-one inverter and Variable Frequency Drive with maximum power point tracking designed to utilize the most solar power available.
Solar only systems use solar energy to maximize operation during daylight hours. In partial sunlight (morning and afternoon), the system will run at reduced speed extending the daily run time.
These packages includes
PicoCell™ 3500 Control Panel.
Blender Controller Option
These systems utilize solar power during the day and grid power at night to provide 24/7 performance. These packages include the PicoBlender™ 2500 Control Panel.
(morning and afternoon), the system will run at reduced speed extending the daily run time.

The Kasco 1/2 HP 2400 VFX Aerator for Ponds
For the leader in pond aeration, look no further than Kasco. The Kasco 2400 VFX 1/2 HP aerator is perfect for ponds up to 1/2 acre in size. This 1/2 HP pond aerator comes equipped with a control panel, mooring ropes and protective screening. These units deliver low operating costs and are extremely easy to install.
If you have a shallow pond, don’t worry. This floating aerator can operate in depths of as little as 15 inches.
Features and Benefits of the 2400VFX
Impressive pattern: 5? Tall x 15? Wide
Efficient / Low Power Use: Highest efficiency design for low power consumption versus competing units. Reduces operating costs over the entire life of the unit. 5.6 running amps on a 120V circuit for low operating costs.
Clog Resistant: Unique water-deflecting nozzle design gives you the most clog-resistant model on the market. Successful shallow water operation in as little as 15?
Rugged Motor: Environmentally friendly design with a hard-face internal mechanical seal and external lip seal for protection against leaks. Seals are silicone carbide for long life. Long-life top and bottom ball bearings. Flood oil lubricated for excellent heat dissipation.
Corrosion Resistant: Superior dependability in salt-water or other corrosive environments. All external metal motor, float, and hardware components are of stainless steel composition.
Low Maintenance: Clean the motor housing once or twice per year and replacing the sacrificial zinc anode when visibly corroded.
Fully Tested: ETL listed to stringent UL and CSA Safety standards.
Ships Easily: Via UPS in 2 or 3 cartons (depends on cord length). Lights require an additional carton.
Dependable: Backed by a two-year warranty
Choice of Cord Lengths: SJTOW underwater rated power cord length options of 50?, 100?, 150?, or 200? Includes two 50? braided nylon mooring ropes.
