Kasco Case Study: The Most Efficient Surface Aerator for Your Pond

We embarked on a case study to determine how well our Kasco Surface Aerators improve water quality in shallow ponds. Read to find the results!

Testimonials for Surface Aerator with Float, Bottom Screen, & Control Panel

"The Kasco Surface Aerator made a massive improvement to the water clarity on a farm I manage. Also, the migrating ducks loved it, too."

Dennis | Becker, MN

"Our pond is cleaner, the fish are happy, and so are we!"

Linda | Irving, TX

"Fast shipment. This my second unit which I bought to have as a backup if my first unit went out. These are outstanding, durable and very efficient. My first unit is still working great after several years of use."

My pond had been nearly taken over with duckweed. Although I was able to control the growth somewhat with aquatic herbicides, it would never clear for long and it continued to cause problems with the killed vegetation. The day I ordered the aerator, the pond was completely covered with sludge/dead vegetation. It was 90+ degrees daily and I did not think my fish would survive. I placed this aerator in the center and over the deepest part of my 1/4 acre pond and it immediately began to clear. The pond is completely cleared now except for some vegetation on the perimeter, but that is easily treated with the aquatic herbicide. I can say that the company received my order on one day and I received the package less than 24 hours later. Can't ask for better service than that! The aerator is well built and should last for years. The float supports the unit well at the pond's surface and allows for changes in pond depth. I'm hoping to be able to start using it on a timer eventually, but for now it has been running 24/7 with no problems. I highly recommend this product.

We have been using this product for years to keep algae out of our pond . The only time it was off was to pressure wash muck off it .I found out they are repairable, the one we had lasted 8 years and started popping our GFI so we replaced it. So for less than half the price when this on gives us any issue we will send it in, but I know that will be years. Highly recommend this product .

All I have is praise for the aerator currently. It has been in my pond for approx 48 hrs and has the pond almost cleared of top algae. I only wish that I had ordered the aerator w/100' cord. My pond is approx 1/2 acre and seems to be sufficient for the task. This model will work up to 1 acre per mfg. And, it is a very high quality machine. I would suggest to anyone to splurg and get a quality made product like the Kasco Marine 2400...or a model for your need.

FAQs

Do Surface Aerators help prevent fish kills in ponds

Yes, Surface Aerators help prevent fish kills by increasing oxygen levels during hot weather or low-oxygen conditions. They are often used proactively in summer to maintain healthy water conditions and protect fish populations.

Are Surface Aerator systems different from fountains?

Yes, Surface Aerators focus on oxygen transfer and water movement rather than decorative spray. They create more turbulence but less visual display than fountains, making them better suited for functional water quality improvement.

Are Surface Aerator systems safe for swimming areas?

No, Surface Aerators are not safe for swimming areas. Surface Aerators require electricity in the water which poses extreme risks. Never enter the water while electrical equipment is plugged in or in operation.

Can you install a Surface Aerator system yourself?

Yes, many Surface Aerators are designed for straightforward installation. Units typically float and are anchored in place, making setup manageable for most users when following manufacturer guidelines and electrical requirements.

Can Surface Aerators be used year-round in all climates?

In colder climates, Surface Aerators are often used seasonally. However in icy conditions, they may need to be removed so they don't ice over. Always follow winter operation recommendations for your region.
