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

Differences:

• The De-Icer is oil-free & 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 3,450 rpm. Competitive de-icers, even those with 1-hp motors, run at fewer than 2,000 rpm. This means the Scott Aerator 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.
