Description
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.

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.
