Kasco Dock De Icers

Kasco Dock De Icers 

Kasco De-Icers will protect your investments from the havoc that ice can cause. Ice damage can be very expensive and time-consuming to repair, so you must protect yourself.  If you have a boat, dock, marina, pier, etc that is in water that may freeze, you are going to want to protect yourself. Kasco De Icers are amongst the most trusted brands when it comes to dock deicers and they have been protecting against ice damage for more than 50 years! 

Ice jacking and ice expansion can destroy a dock or pier as the temperatures get colder in the winter. Pilings can be forced out of their footing and can also crack or break. Cables securing docks in place can snap from the pressure of the ice and from fluctuations in water levels from tide changes and when dams are used on bodies of water regulated by man. 

Dock de-icers push warm bottom water to the surface creating an ice-free area of protection around your boat, dock, pier, or other in-water properties. In addition to protecting your investments, de-icers also help protect fish and other aquatic species, by oxygenating the water and creating more viable living conditions.

Kasco De Icers feature a single open propeller design that increases water flow and decreases the possibility of getting clogged. A coated stainless steel cage guards the propeller against debris and also assists in preventing clogging and maintaining maximum water flow.

Kasco De-Icer Mounting Options:
