    I purchased a unit last year to supplement the Marina 1hp units,,I wanted to control my own slip area. The unit was very cost effective and just what I wanted. I did place it at a depth of 8′, but got the coverage I wanted. These are well built units, you can’t go wrong.

    I have a dock on small lake in Northern NH. The De-icer works great. It took some practice to dial down the percentage of time on , so that I can get open water around my dock, but not too far away from the dock so that the ice fishermen and snowmobiles stay safe. It can stay pretty localized – I can get open water at the dock and 30 ‘ away the ice is 7″ thick. Now I run it once or twice a week.

  4. Jason Tidblom (verified owner) –

    I had a slight problem with the motor on this product and unfortunately it was out of warranty. However, Lake Restoration took care of me, and I’m 100% satisfied!! Great people to work with!

    Works like a charm. Lake froze before I was able to install, but after opening a small hole roughly under the middle of dock structure, the de-icer burned about 3” ice depth from a 25’x30’ area in 4 hours or so. I only need to run intermittently to be ice free now. And next year will be ready before ice up!

    Second year of use. Got one of the ropes tangled in the motor the first year and was worried the engine was shot. Removed the rope and put it back in the water and no problem.
