This powerhouse effortlessly disrupts ice formation, shielding your dock, boat, and aquatic life from even the harshest winter months. Beyond just protection, the Kasco De-Icer plays a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance, circulating oxygen-rich water to support aquatic life and preserve natural habitats.Ā The Kasco De-Icer can maintain a clear, ice-free zone up to 50 feet in diameter and is available in 1/2, 3/4, and 1HP models. Each backed by a solid 3-year warranty, your Kasco De-Icer is built to last.
Everything you need is included with Kasco Pond De-Icer and more!
The Kasco De-Icer is designed to be suspended from a dock or a boat, just below the water's surface. It is mounted with the provided mooring lines, allowing it to hang at the desired depth. If needed, you can also elect to upgrade to a different mounting option for a more customized setup.
Once positioned, the de-icer functions by utilizing a high-performance 115V or 230V motor motor that powers a propeller, creating upward water circulation. This process draws warmer, deeper water to the surface, preventing the formation of ice by disrupting the natural freezing cycle. The continuous movement of warmer water maintains an ice-free zone up to 50ft in diameter around docks and boats, effectively preventing ice buildup in cold temperatures.
Your de-icer will come with 2 (20ft) mooring lines for suspended operation. If desired, you can upgrade to another option below.
Kasco de-icers come with (2) 20 ft. suspension ropes and are available in 1/2, 3/4, and 1 HP unit sizes. Use de-icers year-round for improved health and beauty of your water.
The C-20 time and temperature controller allows you to determine at what temperature and time of day the de-icer turns on.
The C-10 controller uses an adjustable air temperature thermostat to turn the de-icer on or off when the temperature reaches a set point.
Kasco has been moving water forward since 1968. The latest technology, design, and manufacturing has allowed us to maintain leadership in industries around the world.

To de-ice a shallow water area, direct the flow of warmer water from the deeper area into the shallower area. Remember, a De-Icer works because it draws warmer, denser water from the bottomĀ and circulates it upward to the surface, preventing ice formation or melting existing ice. By positioning a de-icer near deep water areas and mounting it to angle back toward the shallow area, you can successfully push the warm water toward the shallow areas and prevent ice formation.
It is often easier to de-ice a boat by installing the de-icer at or near the bow, angled toward the stern. For large boats, it may take multiple units to properly de-ice the area, but following the natural contouring of the boat hull will provide the most effective results. De-Icers can often be hung from cleats and suspended under the hull. For extremely wide hulls, you may need to suspend units off either side. Depending on the depth, diffusers can also be installed directly under the hull, on the bottom.
When de-icing a dock or pier, you can place the de-icer at an angle forcing the water back toward the shoreline. If the water flow is directed toward the shore or a retaining wall, it will flair, forming a desirable āTā shape de-icing pattern. This flair will extend the total area of open water and provide an ample area of open water around the dock or pier. If shoreline de-icing is not desired, vertical installation is best and a curtain can be installed into the water to prevent flow beyond a given point, as desired.
In tidal waters, split the difference in water depth so the De-Icer is in shallow water at low tide and deep water at high tide. Another option is to tie your De-Icer to a boat or floating dock and allow the boat/dock and De-Icer to rise and fall with the tide.
