Kasco Decorative Fountain Aerator 2.3 VFX 2 HP 8 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.

Kasco 1 HP 4400AF Surface Aerator
Kasco 4400AF 115 Volt and 4400HAF 230 Volt Pond Surface Aerator package includes assembled 1 HP motor unit, UV resistant float, 3 (50') braided nylon mooring lines, and 3 wire power cable in lengths ranging from 50' to 400'. This submersible motor operates in just 19 inches of water and has a top intake open propeller design to push the water into the air producing smaller water droplets to increase the total surface area for oxygen transfer.
Reduce regular maintenance and increase water flow to the motor by purchasing the optional stainless steel coated bottom screen that connects to the float and reduces pondweed from clogging the motor.
