Description
Kasco water circulators provide valuable benefits to you in every season of the year.
Circulators are a great way to eliminate stagnant water and have benefits all year long.
The Kasco Marine 4400CF Water Circulator is a powerful 1 HP, 120V circulator designed to create strong directional water movement in ponds, lakes and waterfront areas. Producing approximately 51 lbs of thrust, the 4400CF helps circulate stagnant water, improve mixing and move water through areas that would otherwise receive limited circulation.
The submerged motor operates horizontally beneath the water's surface and uses an open-propeller design to produce strong directional flow. The open design allows high water movement while reducing the likelihood of clogging from larger floating material.
Horizontal Float Mount Included: This package includes the Kasco Marine Horizontal Float Mount, allowing the circulator to be securely positioned below the water's surface and anchored from shore.

Seasonal Benefits
Summer Circulation
During warmer months, the 4400CF can be used to mix and agitate stagnant water while creating strong directional flow through ponds, lakes and waterfront areas. Moving water can help reduce stagnant conditions and move floating vegetation and debris away from targeted areas.
Spring Circulation
Spring circulation helps re-establish water movement after winter and can improve mixing in 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 circulation can help move leaves, floating vegetation and other organic debris away from docks, shorelines and other targeted areas before material settles or accumulates.
Winter Circulation
Kasco identifies the 4400CF for both summer and winter applications. In cold-weather installations, directional circulation can be used to maintain water movement around targeted areas. Winter performance will depend on water depth, mounting position, temperature and local ice conditions.

*The 4400CF can operate in shallower water, but insufficient bottom clearance may result in sediment disturbance.
Horizontal Float Mount
This package includes the Kasco Marine Horizontal Float Mount. The float positions the 4400CF horizontally below the water's surface and allows the complete assembly to be anchored from shore.
The floating configuration is ideal for ponds, lakes and waterfront areas where a dock, piling or other permanent mounting structure is not available. Adjusting the unit angle allows directional flow to be aimed through the desired circulation area.
- Positions the circulator horizontally below the water's surface.
- Durable float and stainless steel mounting components.
- Multiple unit-angle positions allow directional flow to be adjusted.
- Mooring lines secure the float and circulator from shore.
- Provides a flexible alternative to fixed dock mounting.
Installation & Use
Position the Horizontal Float so the 4400CF can create directional flow through the desired area without contacting the pond or lake bottom, shoreline, dock or other underwater obstructions.
Kasco specifies a recommended minimum operating depth of approximately 4 ft. The unit can operate in shallower water, but inadequate bottom clearance may cause strong flow from the circulator to disturb sediment.
Secure the float using the appropriate mooring lines and anchor points. Aim the circulator so water moves horizontally through the targeted circulation area rather than directly toward the bottom.
Electrical Safety: Always follow Kasco's electrical installation and operating requirements. Never enter the water while the circulator is connected to power or operating.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Included with the 4400CF?
The package includes the Kasco 4400CF 1 HP circulator, selected power cord length and Horizontal Float Mount.
How Much Thrust Does the 4400CF Produce?
Kasco's 4400CF specification lists approximately 51 lbs of directional thrust.
What Voltage Does the 4400CF Use?
The 4400CF operates on 120V, 60 Hz, single-phase power.
How Many Amps Does the 4400CF Draw?
Kasco lists the 4400CF at approximately 11.3 operating amps.
How Deep Should the 4400CF Be Installed?
Kasco lists a recommended minimum operating depth of approximately 4 ft. The unit can operate in less depth, but strong circulation may disturb bottom sediment.
What Does a Water Circulator Do?
A water circulator creates directional flow that helps move and mix stagnant water through a pond, lake or waterfront area.
Can the 4400CF Help with Floating Vegetation and Debris?
Yes. Directional water movement can help push floating vegetation and debris away from docks, shorelines and other targeted areas. Results depend on site conditions, wind, natural currents and the amount of material present.
Does the Horizontal Float Require a Dock?
No. The floating system is secured using mooring lines, making it suitable for installations where a dock or piling is not available.
Can the 4400CF Run Continuously?
Yes. The 4400CF uses an oil-cooled motor designed for continuous-duty operation.
Can the 4400CF Be Used in Salt Water?
Yes. Kasco lists the 4400CF as saltwater compatible. The unit includes stainless steel exposed components and a sacrificial zinc anode for corrosion protection.
Can the 4400CF Be Used in Winter?
Yes. Kasco's 4400CF literature identifies the circulator for both summer and winter applications. Installation and performance depend on local water depth, temperature, mounting position and ice conditions.
What Is the Warranty?
The Kasco 4400CF includes a two-year manufacturer warranty.
