Designed to provide optimum performance and a stunning display for large ponds, Kasco’s 5.1VFX (Single phase) & 5.3VFX (3 phase) expands the proven VFX line into a 5 HP model.

The classic Kasco "V" fountain pattern, 9' tall x 34' wide gives this model a beautiful eye-catching display. The larger motor and enhanced propeller design gives a pumping rate of over 800 gallons per minute, adding maximum oxygen to improve your pond or lake aeration. It will assist in improving your water quality as well as adding to the aesthetic appeal of your pond.

It is available in a 240V single phase or 208/240V 3 phase, 60Hz model.

The 5.1VFX is supplied with a state-of-the-art GFCB protected control panel, model C-95. The panel includes a 240 volt control panel with timer, GFCB protection, 120V GFI protected outlet for lights, and photocell for light operation. Kasco recommends a licensed electrician to install the C-95 control panel and wire the 5.1VFX into the panel.

The 5.3VFX, 3 phase unit is supplied with a simple to use, all inclusive GFI protected 3 phase control panel, model CF-3235. Without the confusing options, these panels include all the best features. Included in this UL-508A, non-metallic 4x/3r panel is a true, 3 phase rated personnel protection GFI with a 5ma trip level. Also included is a motor starter with adjustable overload, lightning/surge protection, two 24 Hour time clocks (one for the unit and one for lights), and a Hand-Off-Auto switch. Other features are an angled field wiring terminal block for easy installation, input terminals for field installed interlock, and startup instructions with wiring diagram in the door. A licensed electrician should install this control panel.

The 5.1VFX & 5.3VFX boast an innovative float design with a low profile in the water for enhanced appearance, plus an attractive decorative shape.

Low Voltage Light kits are available in Red, Green, Blue and Yellow

Add an optional LR-375 Low Voltage Light Kit to the 5.1VFX or 5.3VFX to extend its beauty into the nighttime hours. Lighting enlivens the water display, turning water drops into glimmering jewels of light while creating a resort-like appearance to your overall water feature. Add two LR-375 Light Kits for a total of 6 lights and a stunningly bright display. Recommended when brighter lights are desired or in areas with high light pollution.

The LR-375 Low Voltage Light Kit includes three machined-bronze light fixtures each with 75 watt MR-16 Halogen lamps. The lighting kit’s transformer is integrated into the system, so there’s no extra wiring required. Simply plug it into the C-95 Control Panel and the lights will operate whenever the unit operates during darkness. Three clear MR-16 lamps are included with each kit. As an option, you can choose any or all of the optional colors of Red, Green, Blue and Yellow.
