1 HP Kasco De-Icer

1 HP Kasco De-Icer

The 1 HP Kasco De-Icer is the industry standard for protecting docks, boats, and shoreline structures from the devastating pressure of ice expansion and "ice jacking." Engineered for heavy-duty performance, this unit pushes a high-velocity stream of warm bottom water to the surface, creating an ice-free opening even in the harshest winter conditions. Whether you are managing a private dock or a commercial marina, the 1 HP model provides the power and reliability needed to maintain open water in extreme climates.

Kasco de-icers are world-renowned for their energy efficiency and durable construction. The motor is housed in a corrosion-resistant stainless steel body and filled with food-grade oil for superior heat dissipation and lubrication. The unique propeller design is protected by a heavy-duty cage that maximizes water flow while keeping out large debris. Designed for continuous-duty operation, this 1 HP unit is capable of clearing a large radius, saving waterfront owners thousands of dollars in potential ice damage repairs.

Features:

• Powerful Ice Prevention: High-performance motor creates a large diameter of open water to protect marine assets.

• Corrosion-Resistant Hardware: Features a 304 stainless steel motor housing and a specialized salt-water-ready zinc anode.

• Energy-Efficient Motor: Optimized internal components provide high thrust with low energy consumption.

• Continuous-Duty Operation: Engineered to run 24/7 throughout the winter season without overheating.

• Environmentally Friendly: Oil-cooled motor uses food-grade mineral oil, making it safe for aquatic ecosystems.

• Versatile Mounting: Can be suspended by ropes (included) or mounted to a dock using an optional universal dock mount.

• ETL Listed: Rigorously tested to meet stringent safety standards for underwater electrical equipment.

Three ways to install de-icers:

• Suspension ropes — hang de-icer between two fixed points. Ropes are included.
• Dock mount — using the optional dock mount lets you attach the de-icer to a dock or piling. Dock mount is adjustable for depth and angle.
• Floatation kit — suspending the de-icer horizontally with this floatation kit creates an elongated pattern of open water. Kit includes stainless steel mounting hardware and a foam float.
