equipment. It is extremely important to test the RCD

upon installation, each reinstallation, and monthly

thereafter to ensure proper operation. If you have

repeat, consistent trips on your ground fault, the equip-

ment should be disconnected and removed from the

water. The power cord should be inspected for dam-

age and you should call a Kasco Marine distributor or

representative for further instructions.

If the supply cord becomes damaged, it must be

replaced by an authorized service center, or similarly

qualiﬁ ed persons in order to avoid a hazard.

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 dis-

connected from power and inspected for any material

that may have clogged the system or wrapped around

the shaft of the motor, especially plastic bags and ﬁ sh-

ing line. Even though Kasco Fountains are among the

most clog-resistant on the market, it is impossible to

protect against all items that can clog equipment and

still maintain a ﬂ ow of water. These materials can be

very damaging to the equipment under continued op-

eration and must be removed as soon as possible. AL-

WAYS UNPLUG THE UNIT BEFORE ATTEMPT-

ING TO REMOVE CLOGS.

WINTER STORAGE: In regions where there is sig-

niﬁ cant freezing in the wintertime, Fountains should

be removed from the water to protect them from the

expansion pressure of the ice. Storage over winter is

best in a location that is out of the sun and cool, but

above 0

CLEANING: Equipment 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). The

motor housing is the surface that dissipates heat into

the water and any algae, calcium, etc. build-up will be-

come 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 de-

pending on conditions. In most cases a power washer

will be sufﬁ cient if the unit and algae are still wet.

SEAL AND OIL REPLACEMENT: This is a sealed

motor assembly and seals will wear out over time

(similar to break pads on a car). Replacement of the

seals and a change of oil after three years may add

longevity to the operation of the motor, saving you the

cost of more expensive repairs. In warmer climates

where the equipment runs most or all of the year, it is

a good idea to replace seals more regularly than you

would need to in colder climates where the unit is

removed from the water for several months.

ZINC ANODE: A Sacriﬁ cial Zinc Anode is supplied

on the shaft of all Kasco 50Hz Fountains for protec-

tion of the equipment from corrosion and electroly-

sis. The zinc anode should be updated (replaced) if

reduced to half the original size or if white in color.

Corrosion from electrolysis is more commonly associ-

ated with saltwater or brackish water, but as a matter

of precaution, it is important to periodically check the

zinc anode in all installations (at least every two to

three months).

Seal replacement and all other repair services should

be performed by Kasco Marine or a Kasco trained

Authorized Repair Center. Please contact your Kasco

Marine, Inc. distributor or representative for your

nearest Authorized Repair Center.
