Which pond is it right for?

Kasco rates the 2400AF for ponds and tanks up to about 1/2 acre of surface area. For deep ponds or high oxygen demand — heavily stocked fish ponds, aquaculture, or wastewater — budget 1 to 1.5 HP per surface acre and consider stepping up to the 3/4 HP and 1 HP models in our Kasco surface aerator lineup. Choose the bottom screen option for shallow or debris-heavy water, and a cord length that reaches from placement to shore power. Not sure which configuration fits?

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Kasco 2400AF include a control panel?
No — the 2400AF is sold with or without the Kasco C-25 120V timer panel. Select the "With C-25 Timer Panel" option above to add timer scheduling and GFCI protection.

How shallow can the 2400AF run?
The 2400AF operates in as little as 15 inches of water, making it suitable for shallow ponds, dugouts, and tanks.

Can the 2400AF run in saltwater?
Yes. The corrosion-resistant design with a sacrificial zinc anode is rated for freshwater, saltwater, and other corrosive environments.

Do I need the bottom screen?
The bottom screen is recommended for shallow, weedy, or debris-heavy water — its vertical bars protect the propeller intake from clogging.
