(Item # : Powerhouse_Ice_Eater_P500)
By Powerhouse
Model : P500
The Ice Eater is designed to prevent ice from forming around boats, marinas, docks, and piers as well as effectively melting ice by breaking the surface with a continuous current of warmer bottom water.
Ice Eater's propeller draws up warmer subsurface water and deflects it to the surface creating a constant circulation of warmer water that prevents ice formation. Ice Eater will melt existing ice. Unlike other de-icing units, Ice Eater requires no additional hardware in order to obtain the desired de-icing pattern. Ice Eater is shipped complete with suspension lines. It can be taken out of the box, hung in place and plugged in. Ice eater may be hung from a pier or boat. Two to three feet is the average operating depth.
Design Features : The design of the Ice Eater's venturi shroud (housing) with outwardly flared ends draws warmer water from greater depths than other conventional de-icers.
The shroud is submersible below the surface either vertically or angled from vertical. A set of mounting holes at opposed positions on the flange allows the lines to be attached.
- Ice Eater de-icers are custom designed and engineered for maximum performance.
- Our units are designed to agitate fresh or salt water at maximum efficiency in all climatic conditions.
- Our energy efficient Ice Eater's will agitate more water than any de-icer in the marine electronics market today.
