Details
The Kasco® 5.1VFX 240v 5hp single nozzle floating pond fountain circulates an impressive 3,500gpm of water. You just will not find another fountain in this hp class with this kind of performance.
This unit comes standard with low amp draw pump, multi-piece thermoplastic float and C-85 240v control control panel which includes an auto-timer and photoelectric eye for the optional light kit [sold separate]. The C-85 240v control panel must be "hardwired" by a licensed electrician or other qualified individual. Once the control panel is wired, the pump and light kit power cords will then plug into the control panel.
There simply is not a better value available when purchasing a floating fountain.
