Bearon Aquatics Powerhouse Ice Eater Dock De-Icer Features and Benefits

• Energy-Efficient: a 115 Volt or 230 Volt Bearon Aquatics - Powerhouse Ice Eater is more efficient than competitors and will keep your costs down.

• Heavy Grade Motor Housing: built with 16 gauge 304 stainless steel, bronze endbell, and 316 stainless steel motor shaft to operate corrosion-free in freshwater and saltwater.  This ensures that your PowerHouse Ice Eater will be keeping your property protected from ice damage for years.

• #1 in Water Movement: Bearon Aquatics Ice Eaters circulate more freshwater or saltwater.  1650 revolutions per minute (RPM) produce more Gallons Per Minute (GPM) of water flow than any other dock de-icer on the market.

• Permanent Split Capacitor: ensures quick, high torque, and smooth operation while performing at the same high efficiency as a single-phase induction motor.  The split capacitor is in sync with the motor for unmatched productivity.

• Environmentally Friendly: No Oil! The rotor is cooled by an environmentally friendly dielectric lubricating fluid and supported by two heavy-duty ball bearings.  Internal mechanical seal and stainless steel components and additional double lip shaft seal are in place for extra protection and also use the environmentally friendly fluid.  This ensures we get our desired result without harming the environment.

• Maximum Performance - Multiple Options: Venturi shroud features ends that flare outward to create greater upward thrust to pull warmer water from deeper areas. The unique housing also allows you to utilize the dock deicer in 5 different flow patterns.  This allows you to control areas that are protected and choose the optimal solution. The PowerHouse Ice Eater generates more freshwater and saltwater flow than any other dock de-icer.

• Double Checked, Certified, and Ready to Operate: All Bearon Aquatics Ice Eaters are performance tested and certified for appropriate output and leaks before they are shipped to you.

• Custom-Designed Propellor:  Maximizes results and features screws on the shaft for quick and easy replacement.  Great performance and is easy to replace.

• Easy to Setup/Install:  Unlike some other dock de-icers, Bearon Aquatics Ice Eaters require almost no setup.  We will quickly ship your Ice Eater to you and all you will have to do is take it out of the box, secure the Ice Eater with the 2 included 25ft suspension ropes, place it in the water, plug it in, and sit back and watch the ice melt. Unlike some other models, no additional hardware is needed to get different ice eater patterns.

• Great for Waterfowl Hunting: When you add a Shallow Water Stand to an Ice Eater you can keep a pond from freezing and create a dream situation for duck hunting. You will quickly and easily open up a frozen pond and now you will have the only open water around. The Ice Eater will also keep the water and decoys moving to make the water look even more attractive.
