Powerhouse Ice Eater Specifications
The Ice Eater line of marine and dock deicers by Powerhouse are designed to operate in fresh or salt water environments, drawing warmer water from the depths to warm the water at the surface. Hanging the Ice Eater vertically will clear a round opening with the size depending on the water depth, power of the deicer unit and water temperature. Angling the Ice Eater unit will produce an elongated oval of open water.
In addition to deicing around docks, piers, boats and other waterside features, Ice Eaters can be used the rest of the year to improve the flow of stagnant water in and around docks and marinas, and can be used to set up currents that will help keep weeds and debris from drifting in.
