Product Description
1/4 HP Bearon Aquatics P250 Ice Eater
The P250 Ice Eater is perfect for light ice and small boats.
Developed over 40 years ago, the Bearon Aquatics’ Ice Eater is built in the USA. Ice Eater is known worldwide for its quality, dependability, and energy efficiency. The Ice Eater is your insurance policy to protect your dock, boats, and pilings from ice damage during the winter months. Today Ice Eaters have crossed into various other applications, from keeping ponds open for duck migration to creating artificial tides for shellfish farming.
Available in (4) sizes for deicing up to 80' diameter areas with a single unit.
BEFORE THE ICE SETS
The Ice Eater, the original De-Icer, is the leader in quality, durability, and performance. It is designed to prevent ice from forming around boats, marinas, docks, and piers as well as effectively melting existing ice by breaking the surface with a continuous current of warmer bottom water.
HOW IT WORKS
The 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 and melts existing ice.
The design of the Ice Eater’s venturi shroud (white housing) with outwardly flared ends, provides more upward thrust & draws warmer water from greater depths than other conventional de-icers.
WHY BUY THE ORIGINAL DE-ICER?
Ice Eater is shipped complete with suspension lines and shackles. Therefore, it can be taken out of the box, hung from a boat, dock, or pier and plugged in.
Unlike other de-icing units, Ice Eater requires no additional hardware to obtain the desired de-icing pattern. Just move a shackle from one hole to another hole on the top rim, and you can quickly change the angle the Ice Eater is suspended at.
The average operating depth of the Ice Eater is between two and three feet, but for best performance, ensure there is at least one foot between the Ice Eater and the seabed.
