Know before you buy
The correct horsepower depends primarily on the surface area of your pond and your aeration needs. The VFX series supports ponds ranging from 3/4 acre up to 3 acres, so you should select a model that matches your specific water volume to ensure effective circulation.
The minimum depth varies by model to ensure the pump intake remains submerged and clear of bottom debris. You will need at least 15 inches of water for the 1/2 HP model, scaling up to 26 inches for the 5 HP unit.
Yes, the VFX Series is a complete kit. It includes the pump, the float, mooring lines for anchoring, and a control panel equipped with GFCI protection for safe outdoor operation.
The fountain is built with durable, weather-resistant materials designed for long-term outdoor use. However, if you live in an area where the pond freezes, you should remove the unit before ice forms to prevent damage to the pump and float.
Kasco offers power cord options up to 500 feet, allowing for flexible placement of your control panel. Be sure to select a cord length that comfortably reaches your power source while accounting for the distance from the shoreline.
The VFX Series is engineered to provide both. While it creates a high-visibility, attractive water pattern, its primary function is to move large volumes of water to improve oxygen levels and overall water quality.
