De-icers

De-icers can be used to keep a boat dock or swimming area, for example, ice-free all winter. De-icers push warmer groundwater towards the surface, preventing the water surface from freezing.

De-icer keeps the dock area unfrozen all winter

An ice de-icer is a winter piece of equipment for boaters and cottagers that prevents ice from forming around a dock, boat mooring or beach. The device works on a simple principle: a submersible propeller pumps warmer groundwater towards the surface, keeping the water surface moving and preventing it from freezing. Without an ice de-icer, thick ice can damage a dock, boat or other water structures during the winter if the freezing water expands against the structures — in the worst case, the ice can crush the side of the boat or break the support structures of the dock.

Our range includes both the Kasco De-Icer 0.75 hp and the VAKE De-Icer, which is designed specifically for boats up to 16 meters (approx. 15 m waterline) and for their winter storage or for protecting the dock. When choosing the power, it is worth considering the size of the area to be protected: in a vertical installation, a 0.75 hp Kasco device typically keeps a radius of about 24 meters open, which is sufficient for most docks and smaller boat spaces. The VAKE, on the other hand, is designed specifically for directly around a single, larger boat to protect the entire hull from freezing. For larger needs, protecting several boat spaces or a longer dock, it is worth considering several devices in parallel.

It is important to remember safety when installing: the ice blocker should always be installed via a grounding switch (residual current device) as a fixed installation, not connected to a regular socket — the device is constantly under water and running throughout the winter. The device is usually attached under the dock with a universal bracket, which is suitable for various pipe attachments up to 3 meters long (pipe not included) and the angle of which can be adjusted from vertical to horizontal to ensure the correct water flow.

Also remember the maintenance supplies: the zinc anode protects the device from galvanic corrosion in seawater and should be replaced regularly before it wears out, and the spare propeller keeps the device in working order for years without having to replace the entire device. The thermostat and sensor (range -15…+95 °C, with 3 m cable) allow the device to start only when it is really needed, which saves electricity and extends the device's service life compared to continuous operation. You can find these spare parts in the same product group ready-made for the right model, as well as the necessary 10 m power cable.

The operating time of an ice blocker is long, typically from November to April throughout the winter, so it is worth considering the energy efficiency and reliability of the device already at the purchase stage – a cheaper device that has to be replaced every few winters is not necessarily a more affordable option in the long run. It is also worth noting that an ice blocker does not eliminate the need to monitor the condition of the boat and dock during the winter anyway: regular inspections ensure that the device actually works throughout the winter and that, for example, a blown fuse does not go unnoticed in the middle of a frosty period.
