Description
Kasco water circulators provide valuable benefits in every season.
Circulators are a great way to eliminate stagnant water and provide benefits year-round.
Kasco water circulators create strong, directional water movement to help manage stagnant areas in ponds, lakes and waterfront properties. By keeping water moving, circulators can improve mixing, reduce stagnant conditions and direct floating material away from problem areas.
This package includes the Kasco Horizontal Float Mount, allowing the circulator to be securely positioned at the water's surface and aimed in one of several orientations to direct water movement where it is needed.
Horizontal Float Mount Included: The float securely suspends the Kasco circulator below the water's surface and uses three tie-down points for anchoring. Three orientation settings allow the direction of water movement to be adjusted for the application.
Features & Benefits
- Creates directional water movement in stagnant or slow-moving areas.
- Helps circulate and mix water throughout ponds, lakes and waterfront areas.
- Can help move floating algae, aquatic vegetation and debris away from problem areas.
- Moving water can make stagnant surface conditions less favourable for mosquito reproduction.
- Horizontal Float Mount included with this package.
- Compatible with Kasco 1/2 HP, 3/4 HP and 1 HP circulators.
- Three tie-down loops provide secure anchoring from shore.
- Three unit orientation settings allow water flow to be directed where needed.
- Power cord strain-relief clip helps secure the cord during operation.
- Stainless steel hardware and components provide durability in waterfront environments.
- Horizontal Float includes a 3-year warranty.
Seasonal Benefits
Summer Circulation
During warmer months, circulators help mix and agitate stagnant water while creating directional flow through ponds, lakes and waterfront areas. Moving water can help move floating algae, vegetation and debris while reducing stagnant surface conditions.
Spring Circulation
Spring circulation helps establish water movement after winter and can assist with mixing areas that have remained relatively stagnant. Directional flow can also help move accumulated floating material toward areas where it is easier to remove.
Fall Circulation
During fall, continued water movement can help circulate pond and lake water while moving leaves, floating vegetation and other organic debris away from docks, shorelines and other targeted areas.
Cold-Weather Circulation
Water circulators can continue to provide directional movement as water temperatures decline, depending on local conditions and the intended application. Always follow Kasco installation, operating and seasonal-storage instructions for your specific unit and climate.
Horizontal Float Mount
The included Kasco Horizontal Float is designed to suspend a compatible Kasco circulator below the water's surface while allowing the system to be securely anchored from shore.
Unlike a fixed dock mount, the Horizontal Float does not require a dock, piling or mounting pipe. Three tie-down loops allow the float to be positioned and secured using mooring ropes, making it a versatile option for ponds, lakes and areas where a fixed mounting structure is not available.

Installation & Use
The Horizontal Float positions the circulator at the water's surface and is secured using three mooring ropes attached to the float's tie-down loops. The ropes are anchored to shore or another suitable secure point to hold the float in position.
The circulator can be installed at three different angles of orientation, allowing the direction of water movement to be adjusted based on the shape of the water body and the area where circulation is required.
Position the float so the circulator can operate without contacting the bottom, shoreline, docks or other underwater obstructions. Water flow should be directed through the desired circulation area rather than downward toward bottom sediment.
Safety: Never enter the water while electrical equipment is connected to power or operating. Follow all Kasco installation and electrical safety instructions for the specific circulator being used.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Horizontal Float Included?
Yes. This package includes the Kasco Horizontal Float Mount for the circulator.
Which Circulators Fit the Horizontal Float?
The current Kasco Horizontal Float accommodates compatible 1/2 HP, 3/4 HP and 1 HP units.
Does the Float Require a Dock?
No. The Horizontal Float is secured using three mooring ropes and tie-down loops, making it suitable for installations where a dock or piling is not available.
How Is the Float Secured?
The float has three high-strength tie-down loops used to anchor the assembly securely to shore or other suitable anchoring points.
Can the Direction of Water Flow Be Adjusted?
Yes. The circulator can be mounted in three different orientation settings to direct water movement toward the desired area.
Can Circulation Help with Stagnant Water?
Yes. Circulators create continuous directional water movement that helps reduce stagnant areas and improve mixing throughout the targeted area.
Can Circulation Help with Floating Algae and Debris?
Yes. Directional flow can help move floating algae, vegetation and debris away from docks, shorelines and other problem areas. Results depend on site conditions, wind, natural currents and the amount of material present.
Can Circulation Help Reduce Mosquito Habitat?
Moving water can disrupt the still surface conditions mosquito larvae prefer and may help reduce suitable breeding areas around stagnant water.
What Is the Horizontal Float Warranty?
Kasco's current Horizontal Float includes a 3-year warranty.
Does the Horizontal Float Require Mounting Pipe?
No. Unlike the Universal Dock Mount, the Horizontal Float does not require a customer-supplied mounting pipe.
