Ice Away Pond & Dock De-Icer

Localized winter protection when the dock needs to stay in

Ice Away is a 1/2 HP submersible pond and lake deicer for docks, pilings, boats, marina slips, and other localized areas at risk of freeze damage. It is a practical option when removing a dock or lifting equipment out of the water for winter is not realistic.

The unit moves 500 gallons of water per minute from below the surface and directs it upward and outward. This circulation helps limit ice formation around the installation and reduce the risk of pressure and shifting ice damaging nearby structures.

The size and shape of the affected area will vary with installation depth, water depth, weather, and site conditions. Ice Away is intended for localized ice management, not whole lake ice removal.

• Practical dock protection: Helps manage ice around docks and equipment that must remain in the water.
• 500 GPM circulation: Both the 115V and 230V configurations move the same amount of water.
• Suspended underwater operation: The sealed motor, propeller, and diffuser operate below the surface near the area being protected.
• Water cooled motor: The submerged motor uses the surrounding water for cooling.
• No motor oil: There is no motor oil to check, change, or leak into the water.
• Stainless steel construction: The 4 inch submersible motor is designed for underwater operation.
• No long exposed shaft: The compact submerged design avoids the long shaft arrangement used by some circulation systems.
• Three year warranty: Backed by Outdoor Water Solutions support.

It brings deeper water to the surface and keeps it moving

During cold weather, water below the surface is often warmer than the water directly exposed to freezing air. Ice Away uses a high speed propeller to draw that deeper water upward. A flow directing cone diffuser then spreads the moving water outward near the surface.

The continued movement helps delay and limit ice formation in the immediate area. This can reduce damaging ice pressure around docks, pilings, boat lifts, and other structures left in the water.

Ice conditions remain unpredictable. Performance depends on the installation and weather, and thin ice may extend beyond the visibly open water.

Choose the voltage that matches the electrical service at your site

The two configurations provide the same 500 GPM flow. The 230V configuration is not a higher flow model. Its main electrical difference is a lower amp draw.

Choose 115V when compatible 115V service is available at the installation. Choose 230V when the site is equipped for 230V service and the lower amp draw fits the electrical plan. If you are unsure, have a qualified electrician confirm the available service, circuit requirements, and required ground fault protection before ordering.

Best suited for

• Docks and pilings that remain in the water through winter
• Boat lifts, marina slips, and moored equipment
• Localized areas where freezing water may place pressure on structures
• Ponds, lakes, and marinas in climates with seasonal or unexpected freezing

Not designed for

• Removing ice from an entire pond or lake
• Creating a large recreational open water area
• Extreme or prolonged freezing without a site specific plan
• Areas intended for skating, ice fishing, walking, or vehicle travel on the ice

The sealed motor requires no motor oil checks or oil changes. The installation should still be inspected periodically for debris, damage, and secure suspension. Disconnect power before inspecting or handling the unit and follow the installation instructions supplied with the product.

Moving water can create thin and unstable ice beyond the visibly open area. Keep people, pets, and vehicles away from the operating area, clearly mark the hazard, and follow applicable local requirements.
