Keep Your Water Open with the Outdoor Water Solutions Ice-Away De-Icer
The Outdoor Water Solutions Ice-Away Pond De-Icer is designed to keep water moving, docks protected, and aquatic life safe all winter long. Available in 1/2 HP and 1 HP. With its powerful propeller system, the 1/2 HP model lifts 500 gallons of warmer water per minute to the surface, preventing ice formation and maintaining open water zones even in freezing conditions.
- Protects Your Investment: Prevents ice damage to docks, pilings, and boats by keeping key areas ice-free.
- Safer for Aquatic Life: Maintains open water for fish, waterfowl, and wildlife to thrive during cold months.
- Eco-Friendly Motor: Oil-free, water-cooled design means no risk of harmful leaks into your pond or lake.
- Maximum Coverage: Creates an 8 ft open-water circle for every foot of depth, ensuring wide protection typically expected from a high-capacity winter pond heater.
- Built for Winter: Engineered with stainless steel and a foul-resistant propeller to handle the toughest conditions.
