WINTER STORAGE: In regions where there is significant
freezing in the wintertime, the fountain and light kit should
be removed from the water to protect them from the
expansion pressure of the ice. In many areas, fountains
will keep some amount of ice open through the winter.
However, when the water is thrust into the air, it is exposed
to the colder air temperatures longer and can actually make
ice thicker on the pond/lake. Storage over winter is best in
a location that is out of the sun and cool, but above 32° F.
CLEANING: Fountains and light kits should be removed
from the water at least once per year (at the end of the
season in cold climates) to clean the exterior of the system,
especially the stainless steel motor housing (can) and light
fixtures. The motor housing and light fixture surfaces
dissipate heat into the water and any algae, calcium, etc.
build-up will become an insulator that blocks heat transfer.
In warmer regions it is recommended that the motor is
removed and cleaned at least two to three times per year
depending on conditions. In most cases a power washer
will be sufficient if the unit and algae are still wet. Also
make sure the lens of the light fixtures is clean to ensure the
brightest light possible.
LIGHT PUCK REPLACEMENT: The LED puck lights
are sealed and do not require any maintenance other than
cleaning. If a kit fails to operate it can be removed. Only
perform this removal/replacement with all equipment
disconnected from the power source.
Any required repairs need to be performed by Kasco
Marine. Any alterations or changes made to Kasco units
by an unauthorized source will void the warranty. This
includes tampering with the unit, power cord, and/or
control box. Please contact Kasco Marine, Inc. at

or sales@kascomarine.com.
5. Upon installation of the assembled unit, connect
your LED light kit to your field installed GFCI pro
-
tected outlet and timer.

Maintenance Recommendations
•
Under No Circumstances should anyone enter the
water while a fountain is operating.
•
Please keep the original box for maintenance shipping.
The following maintenance procedures can be utilized to
ensure many years of quality performance from your Kasco
Fountain and Light Kit and reduce the need for more costly
repair work.
PROPER INSTALLATION: Proper installation of Kasco
equipment will include a power source with ground fault
protection. For Fountain models, Kasco provided control
panels included with the unit have built-in ground fault
protection. Ground fault interrupters are a safety feature
that can also alert you to electrical leaks in the equipment.
If you have repeat, consistent trips of the ground fault
device, the equipment should be disconnected and removed
from the water. The power cord should be inspected for
damage and you should contact your distributor, or call
Kasco Marine at 715-262-4488 for further instructions or
email Kasco at sales@kascomarine.com.
OBSERVATION: Operating equipment should be observed
on a regular basis (daily, if possible) for any reduction
or variation in performance. If a change in performance
is observed, the equipment should be disconnected from
power and inspected.
