Kasco Mount for De-Icer and AquatiClear Circulator
Mount Your Kasco De-Icer or AquatiClear with a Kasco Dock Mount Kit
The Kasco Dock Mount bolts a Kasco De-Icer or AquatiClear circulator to a dock, piling, wall, or other waterfront structure so the unit stays where you want it and aims at the water you want to keep moving. Three versions are available: the Universal Mount with Simple Swivel for residential installs that need Kasco's patent-pending rotation accessory, the Universal Mount as a lower-priced basic version (same pipe size, same fit, no Simple Swivel), and the Industrial Mount for marinas, commercial piers, and harsh environments where the mount needs to handle up to a 2 HP unit and shrug off years of weather, ice, and salt.
All three are 300-series stainless steel and carry a lifetime warranty. Both Universal versions take a customer-supplied 1" / 25 mm threaded or unthreaded pipe (up to 10 ft long); the Industrial Mount takes a 1.5" / 40 mm pipe. In every case the pipe is not included - you supply schedule-40 galvanized or stainless. Several pre-drilled holes give you flexibility on how the mount sits against the dock; a shoulder bolt and pivot point near the unit make pipe and unit installation straightforward.
The Simple Swivel bracket is what separates the two Universal versions: it's Kasco's patent-pending rotation collar that lets you aim the unit at the dirtiest pocket of water without unbolting anything. If you don't need that, the basic Universal Mount saves you ~$40 and uses the standard shoulder-bolt rotation. Free shipping on every mount.

Which Mount Do I Need
- Universal Mount with Simple Swivel (243478) - residential docks and ponds with a 1/2, 3/4, or 1 HP De-Icer or AquatiClear. Includes Kasco's patent-pending Simple Swivel rotation bracket. Uses a 1" pipe (customer-supplied).
- Universal Mount (243485) - same fit as the Simple Swivel version (1/2-1 HP De-Icer or AquatiClear, 1" pipe) but without the Simple Swivel accessory. Lower price; you get standard shoulder-bolt + pivot-point rotation.
- Industrial Mount (243479) - marinas, commercial piers, and any install that includes a 2 HP unit or sees harsh winters, brackish water, or salt exposure. Uses a 1.5" / 40 mm pipe (customer-supplied).
- Floating vs Mounted - if you want the unit to float freely on the water instead of being bolted to a structure, use the included 20 ft mooring ropes (De-Icer) or the Horizontal Float (AquatiClear) instead of any of these mount kits.
