Product Description
1/2 HP Air-O-Lator Ice-Away De-Icer
While de-icers are literally made for thawing out ice around docks and on ponds, they also do a great service to water wildlife throughout the winter by helping to prevent a fish kill. Though many animals hibernate throughout the winter, it’s still valuable to allow your water to breathe, not become stagnant, and prevent winter fish kill.
In freezing temperatures, an Air-O-Lator Ice-Away keeps areas open for ducks, geese, and other waterfowl as well as keeping an open area preventing winter fish kills. If the water freezes solid, no fresh air will be able to get to the water. Also, gases that accumulate from the sludge at the bottom of the body of water can get trapped under the ice. This can cause problems for fish, which may already be stressed because of winter conditions.
All you need to keep your water and fish healthy in the winter is a spot of open water that’s not covered by ice. The other solution is to heat your water, which can be expensive. Thankfully, an aerator like a De-Icer IceAway is a simple solution that will keep your water aerated without driving up the heating bill.
