Kasco Pond & Lake De-icer

Kasco Pond & Lake De-icers are a reliable solution for both pond owners and waterfront property managers. By drawing warmer water from below and circulating it to the surface, these units prevent ice formation in targeted areas, reducing the risk of fish kills and protecting docks, boats, and equipment from costly winter damage.

Only a small open area - about 1% of the pond’s surface - is needed to maintain oxygen levels and prevent winter kill. The de-icer’s circulation ensures oxygen transfer, helping fish survive even under harsh conditions. Around docks and marinas, the same circulation keeps ice from forming near valuable structures, reducing pressure and damage risks.

Why Choose Kasco Pond & Lake De-icers?

• Winter protection: Prevents fish loss by maintaining open water and oxygen transfer.
• Dock safety: Guards against ice damage around docks, pilings, and boats.
• Flexible installation: Can be mounted via rope suspension, dock mount, or horizontal float.
• Durable build: Stainless steel construction with zinc anode resists corrosion.
• Efficient motor: Oil-lubricated design ensures low power consumption and excellent cooling.
• Certified safe: ETL listed to meet UL and CSA standards.

Installation & Use Tips

• Correct placement: Position the unit where open water will benefit fish or protect structures most effectively.
• Mooring options: Use included 25 ft ropes for suspension, or choose optional mounts for precise placement.
• Circulation pattern: Rope mounting allows angled operation to direct flow where needed, while dock and float mounts maintain fixed positioning.

Maintenance & Longevity

• Inspect regularly: Check zinc anode every few months and replace when more than half consumed.
• Seasonal cleaning: Rinse motor housing and screen to prevent debris buildup.
• Storage care: If removed seasonally, store dry and upright to protect seals and oil balance.

PRO TIP

For maximum effectiveness, angle the de-icer motor at about 5-15 degrees from horizontal. This increases water movement and enlarges the ice-free area without using additional power.
