Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does a horizontal circulator prevent ice?
A: Horizontal circulators move warmer bottom water to the surface, preventing ice formation around docks, boats, and structures. The constant water movement disrupts ice crystal formation.
Q: Can I use this year-round?
A: Yes, Kasco Horizontal Circulators improve water quality year-round by increasing circulation and aeration. In winter they prevent ice, and in warmer months they reduce stratification and improve oxygen levels.
Q: Should I choose 115V or 230V?
A: Choose based on your available power. 115V is standard residential power, while 230V models (H suffix) are for commercial installations and draw less amperage for the same performance.
Q: How do I install a horizontal circulator?
A: Units include mooring ropes and hardware. Suspend the unit horizontally in the water at the desired depth (typically 2-4 feet below surface) and secure to dock or structure. Follow manufacturer instructions for proper positioning.
