Kasco C-10 De-Icer Temperature Controller 120V — Adjustable 0–80°F, Weatherproof Enclosure

The Kasco C-10 is an automatic 120V air-temperature thermostat that turns a single Kasco de-icer on and off between 0°F and 80°F to protect docks and open water from freezing.

Designed for outdoor use with Kasco 120V de-icers and circulators, the C-10 removes the need for constant manual monitoring by sensing ambient air temperature and switching your de-icer on when conditions get near freezing. Housed in an impact-resistant, weatherproof enclosure with an 8-foot heavy-duty cord, this controller is factory-set to engage near 30°F and is fully adjustable from 0° to 80°F to match your local needs.

How does the C-10 save time and operating costs?

By automating when your de-icer runs, the C-10 prevents unnecessary continuous operation and reduces energy use compared with leaving a unit powered 24/7. It only powers the de-icer until ambient temperatures rise above your setpoint, keeping runtime targeted to cold periods.

• Automatic activation at preset air temperature minimizes manual checks.
• Factory default engages near 30°F, adjustable for local conditions.
• Helps reduce electricity consumption by only running when needed.

How do I install the Kasco C-10 on my dock or pond setup?

Installation is straightforward: plug the C-10 into a GFI-protected outlet and then plug your Kasco 120V de-icer into the controller. The unit includes a protective transparent lid for the rotary dial and ships with an 8-foot cord so you can position it conveniently at your dock or shoreline.

• Plug controller into GFI outlet, then plug de-icer into the controller.
• Transparent lid protects the rotary adjustment from weather and debris.
• 8-foot power cord provides flexible placement options.

What features ensure reliable outdoor performance?

The C-10 is built for cold climates with a waterproof, impact-resistant enclosure and a power cord formulated not to harden in low temperatures. The temperature sensor is accurate for outdoor use and the device is UL-listed, giving you added confidence in long-term durability.

• Impact-resistant, weatherproof housing for harsh environments.
• Cold-resistant power cord that won’t stiffen in winter conditions.
• UL-listed for safety and designed specifically for outdoor de-icer control.

Can one C-10 controller run multiple de-icers or different voltages?

The C-10 is engineered to control a single 120V Kasco de-icer or water circulator. It is not intended to manage multiple units or different voltage devices; each 120V de-icer requires its own dedicated C-10 controller for safe, reliable operation.

• Designed for one 120V Kasco de-icer per controller.
• Not suitable for 240V units or for controlling several de-icers simultaneously.
• Use individual controllers to set independent run schedules and temperatures.

Who is this for? The Kasco C-10 suits homeowners, marinas, and property managers who need a dependable, low-maintenance way to protect docks, small marinas, and open water features from icing without constantly monitoring equipment. If you use a single 120V Kasco de-icer and want predictable operation, energy savings, and weatherproof construction in one compact control box, the C-10 is a practical choice.
