Kasco Horizontal Circulators & De-Icers

Horizontal circulators offer an economical, energy efficient means of creating flow in a calm, stagnant waterway. The thrust and resulting current produced by these units creates a moving stream of water which can also control certain undesriable plants.

The water movement also limits the success of mosquito reproduction: West Nile carrying mosquitos are discouraged from breeding in your waterway. Circulation brings bottom water to the surface where oxygen is transferred at the air/water interface. Mixing and the resulting currents move this oxygenated water back down to the bottom.

With oxygenated water present, the decomposition of organic material on the pond bottom by aerobic bacteria as well as micro and macro organisms, is accelerated. The presence of oxygen on the bottom also ties up some of the available phosphorus that would otherwise feed the growth of plants, including algae. Creating a current will also keep unwanted material from drifting into the area you wish to protect.

This unit is highly recommended for any relatively shallow body of water (2' 6" or greater). With the float option you have the ability to mount the motor in one of five positions which allows for extremely shallow water applications or for efficient water movement at depths up to 18 feet.

A 1/2 HP unit can effectively circulate water in a one acre pond that is six feet deep. In a more recent documented case in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, USA, one 3/4 HP circulator was able to effectively able to move water in a canal that was 1000 feet long and 10 feet wide with a depth of 4 feet, creating an artificial stream.

Kasco De-Icers

To de-ice a shallow water area, direct the flow of warmer water from a deeper area into a shallower area. The de-icer performs by drawing the warmer, denser water from the pond bottom and circulates it upwards towards the surface which prevents ice formation or melts existing ice. The de-icers may be operated with the optional universal dock or piling mount. The de-icer may be operated in either a vertical or several angle positions. The de-icer can be adjusted to a maximum length of 10 feet from the mounting bracket. You may also use the optional flotation kit to create an elongated de-icing pattern in either fresh or salt water. Ideal for shallow water areas or where water levels fluctuate such as tidal waters.
