"Our community owns an 8400JF fountain. We love the fountain, and many in the community have expressed their pleasure in how it makes the pond look. It also does a great job aerating, and was able to halt an early algae problem this spring."

"We purchased your 1400JFL model a couple months back and what it's done for our pond is amazing! It has become a part of us and the pond we never thought possible. The pond is amazingly clear and beautiful. We are very amazed how it changed the whole dimension of the pond for us. We absolutely love it! I wish we had done it years ago."

"I want to tell you how happy we are with our new 1400JFL Aerating Fountain that we purchased last week. My wife and I are thrilled with the ability to sit outside by our pond at night with a glass of wine and enjoy the light show. It looks awesome! The fountain is everything you said it was. We are very pleased!"

"A continuing drought in southern Idaho caused spring flows to drop significantly at Clear Springs Foods broodstock facility located in Soda Springs, Idaho. Under normal operating conditions, the Soda Springs facility operates 26 raceways with an average water flow rate of 1cfs and up to 7,000 lbs. of fish per raceway. Declining water flows caused dissolved oxygen levels to drop below 5 mg/L in some second-use raceways, endangering the spawning population and jeopardizing our ability to supply eggs for our trout production farms. To address this problem, Clear Springs installed Kasco 3400AF, 3/4hp aerators at the top of 6 heavily loaded ponds. By maintaining effluent dissolved oxygen concentrations near 6 mg/L, the aerators have reduced stress and improved feed response in these ponds."

Rushing Waters Fisheries is the largest producer of Rainbow Trout in the Midwest with 50+ ponds on the farm. Rushing Waters has been raising Rainbow Trout from egg to market size since the 1960's and process's the fish on site. They use Kasco 2400AF and 3400AF Aerators in the ponds to increase dissolved oxygen levels which reduces stress on the fish and increases feeding. With many of the 50+ ponds built narrow for better flow through in the raceways, Kasco Aerators are perfect because of their light weight and high water flow. "We have a lot of Kasco units and find them to be efficient, dependable, and portable."

Til-Tech Aquafarm started in 2 large steel and glass greenhouses in 1991 which were originally used for growing hothouse tomatoes. Til-Tech was conceived to supply fresh Tilapia for a few restaurants in New Orleans. Til-Tech quickly became a research facility for LSU Agriculture and Engineering Programs. It pioneered research in green water re-circulation systems using bead filter technology developed by Ron Malone, PhD. Til-Tech soon saw the need for a hatchery and moved all production to their hatchery to supply fingerling Tilapia. Today, Til-Tech is a state of the art hatchery and has the capacity to produce 12 million plus fry annually. Kasco Aerators are used for de-gassing carbon dioxide in the indoor tanks. Kasco Aerators are "THE most effective aerator out there." - Steve Abernathy, Owner.

Keo Fish Farms is located Keo, Arkansas. Keo specializes in raising Hybrid Striped Bass fry and fingerlings and is the largest producer of these fingerlings in the world. The farm stretches over 1,200 water acres. Keo uses hormonal manipulation for spawning and can produce between 100 million and 120 million fry annually. The fingerlings are eventually moved to earthen ponds. At that point, Kasco Aerators come into play to keep dissolved oxygen levels high. "We have used them (Kasco Aerators) for years and they are very reliable. We never have to worry about low oxygen levels." - Mike

"Just wanted to thank you for your help. We received the 3/4hp aerator last week and it has been hard at work. I feel I have friend here combating the enemy (algae) while I am at work. I want to say I think your website is one of the most informative and I have learned a lot. One good thing I see already is that with the shape of our pond and the placement of the aerator in it, the geese are no longer able to splash down in the middle. Thanks again." - Jean

In October, 1988, Kasco Marine sent its de-icing equipment and company personnel 312 miles north of the Arctic Circle to help with the whale rescue off the coast of Barrow, Alaska.

Although Kasco Marine had no official rescue invitation, we were convinced the equipment could do the job. . . so Kasco decided to "crash the party." At first, local officials did not take Kasco's de-icing equipment seriously, but they became enthusiastic after seeing the great results Kasco delivered. There was also a friendly reception from the whales.

Kasco's 3/4hp Circulator units maintained ice-free breathing holes for the trapped whales at temperatures consistently reaching -30 degrees Fahrenheit. Keeping these breathing holes free of ice, while waiting for a Russian ice-breaker was essential to the ultimate freedom of the trapped whales.

Kasco Marine is proud to join all who thank the Inuit crews, Alaskan officials, wildlife biologists, and many other who contributed to this rescue effort.

James Creek Marina is located in Washington, D.C. and is owned by The National Park Service. They use Kasco 3400D, 3/4hp De-Icers and Circulators to prevent ice damage in the winter and for improved water quality during the summer. The major problem was with trash coming into the marina with the tidal flow and from a storm drain near the marina. To say the least, the slip holders weren't happy. It got so bad that some of the slips closest to shore could not be rented because they were filled with trash. Kasco 3400D's were installed on Dock Mounts on the backside of the main walk way to push trash and keep additional debris from coming in with the tide. Six were used right away, but once the existing trash was cleaned up, only 4 were needed, just enough to hold the tide back. During high tide, the de-icers and circulators keep the trash at the mouth of the marina and when the tide reverses, away it goes. Below are some pictures of their success.

"We use many Kasco units with the Universal Dock Mount option in the summer for water quality purposes. They keep organic material and debris from floating into our marina. They have been effective and dependable." - Diane

"We have a 170 slip marina on the St. Croix River and use 14 Kasco Circulator units in the summer months for water quality purposes. They are used with floats, dock mounts, and suspended by ropes depending on the location and circulation requirement. We also use more in the winter for de-icing purposes. As far as the summer months are concerned, they are effective at cleaning up the water, put debris in areas that it can easily be picked up, and assist in weed and algae control. I am surprised that all marinas do not use this type of approach. We have been doing this for 15 years and customers ask for them because they know they work." - Joe

Picture taken the morning of Dec. 6, 2005. Air temperature of negative 8 degrees Fahrenheit.

Note: Not a Kasco float. Performance would be even greater with a Kasco designed horizontal float.

"Just thought I would drop you a line to let you know about one of your De-Icer units, the 125V, 3/4hp unit, model 3400D. We had an existing unit we have been maintaining open water in front of the gates on our dam in Lake Delton and the motor burned out on it. This was not one of yours. We contacted the vendor that we bought the unit from originally and they said it would be two weeks for a new one to arrive. We needed something sooner to keep the ice from forming at the dam so we contacted a local boat company in Wisconsin Dells to see if they had a unit we could borrow or buy. They had a spare 3400D that they were willing to let us use. We were a little skeptical because it looked really small compared to what we had used before. We tried it anyway, mounting it to the float we had for the other unit. We were amazed. It did a better job than the other unit and is a much simpler unit. We plan to buy and use yours now." - Larry

"After discussing my application with your people I felt Kasco was a quality organization. But in this day of what seems to be a growing consensus of 'buyer beware', I figured I was on my own with this problem. Your quick response and resolution is refreshing. I also want to let you know you have a fine dealer in my area. Prior to my purchase, the owner spent quite a bit of time with me showing the various models of Kasco fountains and aerators and explaining the differences. He made me feel very comfortable in my decision to go with the 2400AF model." - Dave

Just the thought of a cool colorful fountain in our pond is exciting! I thought it'd be a hugely complicated ordeal and bad for the pond life. You de-mystified the concept for me and I realized its really do-able!

I sent you an email a few weeks ago, and you gave me a very quick response. I was thrilled, and ended up ordering a Kasco 3/4HP De-Icer and a C20 temperature control. Your professional answer to my questions and fast response made choosing Kasco easy. The equipment arrived and I am a very satisfied customer. Thanks.

The difference, in my opinion, between a great company and all the rest is exactly what you demonstrate; flexibility, a good sense of fairness, and generosity. These are among Kasco Marine's great qualities and are nicely reflected through the decisions you and others in the company make.

Kasco has an excellent product and excellent service. I love to sell your units.
