Scott Aerator Dock Mount Pond De-Icer [10000]

Scott Aerator Dock Mount Pond De-Icer: Prevent costly damage to boats, dock pilings, and boathouses, as well as protect fish and wildlife ponds from freezing temperatures. Utilizing 45 years of expertise, Scott Aerator has designed top-of-the-line de-icers that are highly effective, dependable, and long-lasting.

The Scott Aerator Dock Mount De-Icer can be easily suspended under the water's surface using a heavy-duty stainless steel dock plate, pipe, and yoke assembly. It is compatible with various types of docks, and can be adjusted to match different water levels for quick and simple installation.

The Dock Mount De-Icer keeps ice from forming by bringing warmer water from the bottom and sending it out in a continuous agitated movement. This helps prevent dock pilings from being jacked or lifted, by acting as a buffer to prevent ice expansion and pressure damage.

The inclusion of a Free-Standing Post allows for de-icing without a dock! This convenient feature allows you to easily place your De-Icer in difficult to access areas.

Compared to similar products and you’ll see why the Scott Aerator Dock Mount De-Icer far surpasses anything else on the market.

Differences include:

• The De-Icer is oil-free and maintenance-free. Other de-icers require oil to be added and changed frequently. Oil-filled motors can allow disastrous oil leaks, and they run slowly in cold water. Our De-Icer is engineered for all water temperatures.
• The De-Icer runs at 3450 rpm. Competitive de-icers, even those with 1-hp motors, run at fewer than 2000 rpm. This means the Scott De-Icer moves 400 gallons per minute compared to the competitors' 180 gallons per minute.
• The De-Icer is manufactured using American-made stainless steel, even the motor. The competition utilizes galvanized metal.
• The De-Icer comes standard with an unconditional, 5-year motor warranty. Competitive models warrant their de-icers for just two years.
