We at Kasco Marine, Inc. would like to both thank and
congratulate you on your purchase of the xStream fountain.
We appreciate you choosing Kasco and for your purchase.
Your decision to purchase Kasco’s xStream Fountain will
not disappoint you. The fountain will be a great addition to
your body of water. It will help improve the water quality
by adding much needed oxygen and circulation. It will also
enhance the aesthetics of the pond or lake with a beautiful
fountain pattern. The lighting package (if purchased) will
illuminate your fountain for beauty at night. We thank you
for choosing Kasco for your fountain needs and want you
to be completely satised with your purchase.
Important Safety
Please read and follow these extremely important safety
and handling instructions for your Kasco equipment.
Following these instructions will help ensure your safety
and the quality performance of your equipment.
• Under NO circumstances should anyone enter the
water with the electrical equipment plugged in and/or
in operation. All Kasco equipment is ETL approved
to UL and CSA standards for safety in water and all
fountain models include control panels with GFI
protection. However, it is NEVER recommended to
enter the water with the equipment in operation.
• Caution should be used when dealing with any
electrical equipment with moving parts.
• NEVER run the unit out of water. It will damage the
seals and create a dangerous situation for the operator.
• Extreme caution should be used around water,
especially cold water, such as in Spring, Fall, and
Winter, which poses a hazard in and of itself.
• NEVER lift or drag the fountain by the power or light
cord. If you need to pull the unit to the side of the
pond, use the anchoring ropes.
• Do not use waders in deep ponds/lakes or ponds/lakes
with drop-offs, drastic slopes, or soft bottom material.
• Do not use boats that tip easily for fountain installation,
such as a canoe, and follow all boating safety rules
and regulations, including wearing a PFD. (Personal
Flotation Device)
• The fountain is supplied with an internal grounding
conductor and a grounding-type attachment plug. To
reduce the risk of electrical shock, be certain that the
fountain is plugged into the C-25 Control Box (120V)
supplied by Kasco and that the C-25 is plugged into
a properly grounded, grounding type receptacle. The
GFCI breakers should be tested upon each installation
and every month thereafter to ensure proper operation.
General Instructions
INSPECT THE SHIPMENT
Immediately inspect your Kasco Fountain shipment for any
visible damages. Also cross reference the parts supplied

CAUTION
WARNING: Under NO circumstances should anyone enter
the water with the unit in operation. Always operate the
unit in the water and keep people and objects clear of the
propeller. Do not lift or pull the unit by the electrical cord.
Always use extreme caution around electrical equipment
and water situations.
ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
Please see the proper Assembly and Installation Instructions
enclosed in this manual. Each is specic for your model
and size of Fountain. Note: Use a nylon tie on power
cords to the oat for strain relief. If you have a light kit,
make sure that the unit cord is tied to one side of the oat
and the light cord to the other for balance. Note: It is
extremely important to test the GFI breaker in the control
panel upon each installation/reinstallation of the unit to
ensure proper functioning.

USE AND OPERATION
Kasco Fountains are designed and engineered for
continuous duty, such as on sh farms or other aquaculture
applications, or on-demand use, as needed in a recreational
water feature.
During otation operation, the water is pulled from 360
around the unit and from below the unit. The water is
pulled upward and thrust through the otation collar into
the air.
Your Kasco Marine Fountain is ready for immediate
use (after installation). The motor and ball bearings
are submerged in oil and no further lubrication is
needed. Make sure to keep the motor housing clean

from hard water deposits and/or algae. (See Maintenance
Recommendations.)

It is extremely important that proper and sufcient voltage
(120V) is supplied to the Fountain motor. Each 120V
Fountain is supplied with a UL and CSA approved C-25
GFI Protected Control Box. The Fountain is to be plugged
into the C-25 outlet labeled “UNIT” and the C-25 plugged
into a properly grounded receptacle (See C-25 Instructions).
It is extremely important to test the GFI breaker in the
control panel upon each installation and reinstallation and

Assembly
1. Make sure you have all the parts needed. If any
shortages are found, contact your Kasco representative
immediately.
2. Place oat on motor housing. The power cord notch on
the oat should line up with the cord. See diagram below
of bottom side of oat. The 3 bolt holes in the oat should
line up with bolt receptacles on unit.

3. Use one of the 1/4”-20 x 3-1/4” Phillips Pan Head
Screws, one 1/4” split washer, and a 1/4” Flat Washer to
secure the oat. Make sure the split washer goes between
the bolt head and the at washer. Insert screw with washers
through bolt hole in oat. Tighten until snug with a Phillips
Head screw driver and repeat for 2 remaining screws.
6. Secure the 3 sections of the screen together in 6 places
using #8 screw, #8 lock washer, two #8 at washers, and
#8 nut. Do not overtighten. Alternately, use cable ties
instead of hardware for a quicker assembly of the screen.
4. Set motor housing and oat upside down on a at
surface.
5. Bring the 3 bottom screen sections together.

7. Make sure the cord is coming out of the notch in the
oat before attaching the screen to the oat.
8. Align the screen to the oat using the picture to guide
you. Attach the screen to the oat in 3 places using 1/4”
x 1 3/8” bolt, 1/4” lock washer, two 1/4” at washers, and
1/4” nut. Do not overtighten.
All other nozzle options require the following
assembly:
1. Place the ow straightener in the fountain tube
making sure it rests securely against the tube and the
holes line up. Attach the straightener using four #6 x
3/4” screws.
IMPORTANT: Make sure there is no gap between
the tube and ow straightener and that the screws
are tightened down securely. Loose screws or a gap
can lead to reduced performance.

9. Flip the unit back over so that the stainless steel can is
resting on a at surface. Use the Nylon Cable Tie included
to secure the power cord to a molded hole in the oat to
prevent cord damage if there is no strain relief on the cord.
If you purchased the 150’ or 200’ cord, the cord contains
a metal strain relief, you can use the chain connector and
attach it to one of the rope loops by the oat. If installing
a new Quick Disconnect, refer to Quick Disconnect
Instructions included in the cord box. The unit is now
ready for nozzle choice and assembly.
