How Does the P500 Ice Eater Melt Ice?



The Power House P500 Ice Eater pushes warmer water up to the surface to keep a 40 ft diameter circle of water open in icy conditions. The P500 Ice Eater is most often used for small boats and dock slips.

Originally known as Powerhouse Ice Eaters, the company was purchased by Bearon Manufacturing under the Bearon Aquatics division. The Ice Eater was then reorganized under the Hydrasearch umbrella and, in 2025, was purchased by Airmax. Customers have trusted these reliable units to keep their docks and boats protected for over 40 years!

Each Ice Eater comes with 2 mooring ropes that make it very easy to set up and install. We can assist with any questions you have, but most of the time it is a very quick and easy task. Additional mounting options are available, and you will find those below.

Power House Ice Eater Features and Benefits


  • Energy-Efficient: a 115 Volt or 230 Volt Bearon Aquatics - Powerhouse Ice Eater is more efficient than competitors and will keep your costs down.
  • Heavy Grade Motor Housing: built with 16-gauge 304 stainless steel, bronze endbell, and 316 stainless steel motor shaft to operate corrosion-free in freshwater and saltwater. This ensures that your PowerHouse Ice Eater will be keeping your property protected from ice damage for years.
  • #1 in Water Movement: Bearon Aquatics Ice Eaters circulate more freshwater or saltwater. 1650 revolutions per minute (RPM) produce more Gallons Per Minute (GPM) of water flow than any other dock de-icer on the market.
  • Permanent Split Capacitor: ensures quick, high torque, and smooth operation while performing at the same high efficiency as a single-phase induction motor. The split capacitor is in sync with the motor for unmatched productivity.
  • Environmentally Friendly: No Oil! The rotor is cooled by an environmentally friendly dielectric lubricating fluid and supported by two heavy-duty ball bearings. Internal mechanical seal and stainless steel components, and an additional double lip shaft seal are in place for extra protection, and also use the environmentally friendly fluid. This ensures we get our desired result without harming the environment.
  • Maximum Performance - Multiple Options: Venturi shroud features ends that flare outward to create greater upward thrust to pull warmer water from deeper areas. The unique housing also allows you to utilize the dock deicer in 5 different flow patterns. This allows you to control areas that are protected and choose the optimal solution. The PowerHouse Ice Eater generates more freshwater and saltwater flow than any other dock de-icer.
