Winter is just around the corner and the temperatures here at the Lake are already dropping. Before the snow, ice and freezing temperatures arrive, you should prepare your dock and
boat lift at the Lake of the Ozarks. Frozen water can cause a lot of damage to your dock, boat and boat lift. This problem can be solved by adding a de-icer to your dock. Summerset Boat Lifts has you covered with our Kasco
De-Icers at the Lake of the Ozarks!
What is a De-Icer?
A de-icer is a device you can place on your dock to prevent ice formation and expansion which can cause costly damage to your property. By providing superior thrust and water movement, a de-icer pushes the warm, bottom water to the surface to prevent or eliminate ice formation. This creates an ice free area of protection around your boat, dock, pier or other property installed in the water during freezing tempuratures of the Winter season. This ice free area will not only prevent damage from ice jacking and expansion, but it can provide protection for fish and other aquatic species by allowing for areas of oxygen to enter the water.
What type of De-Icer do I need?
De-icers are available in many different varities: 1/2 HP, 3/4 HP or 1 HP, and 120V or 240V. A 1/2 HP de-icer will work well with a one-well dock or in a situation where you simply "bubble" your own slip in a community dock. A 3/4 HP de-icer is suggested for two-well docks. Multiple de-icers may be required for full coverage depending on the size of your dock. Air / Water thermostats are also available to limit the run time. The
Summerset Boat Lifts staff is here to ensure you get the right de-icer for your dock!
