Kasco Deicers can keep your Dock or Boathouse area open during Winter Months
Ice can significantly damage docks and structures left in water during the winter months. Here are some quick tips from Kasco on how to effectively install a deicer to maintain your shoreline and reduce ice accumulation.
To de-ice shallow water areas, direct the flow of warmer water from deeper sections into the shallower ones. A deicer operates by drawing warmer, denser water from the bottom and circulating it to the surface, which either prevents ice formation or helps melt existing ice. By positioning the deicer near deep water and angling it towards the shallower areas, you can efficiently push warm water where it’s needed to prevent ice buildup.
When de-icing a dock or pier, consider placing the deicer at an angle to direct the water flow back toward the shoreline. This will create a desirable “T” shaped pattern, expanding the open water area and ensuring ample space around the dock or pier. If you prefer to avoid shoreline de-icing, a vertical installation is advisable, and you can use a curtain in the water to limit flow to a specific zone.

“Just a note to say a huge THANK YOU! To you, the welding team and the installation crew that was on site today. Pat and his 3 other crew were awesome! They worked so hard thru heavy rain showers and also braving the cold water temperature to set the dock modules and tighten some screw bolts! Thanks again Derek! I can’t say enough about the crews and the beautiful product that was manufactured by R&J Machine.”
