The Ice Eater 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.

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 patern. 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.
