Description
Kasco Marine 4400HD 1 HP 208-240V De-Icer for Docks, Boats & Ice Prevention
The Kasco Marine 4400HD De-Icer is a powerful 1 HP, 208-240V ice prevention system that keeps water open around docks, boats, piers, marinas, and other in-water structures during freezing conditions. By circulating warmer water from below the surface upward, the 4400HD helps reduce ice buildup and protect waterfront property from damage caused by ice expansion, lifting, and jacking.
Producing 42 lb of thrust, the 4400HD provides strong water movement for demanding winter de-icing applications. Its stainless steel construction, sacrificial zinc anode protection, long-life bearings, and oil-filled motor are designed for dependable operation in freshwater, saltwater, and other corrosive environments.
Electrical requirement: The 4400HD operates on 208-240V single-phase power and requires appropriate electrical wiring by a qualified electrician. Looking for the standard 120V version? View the Kasco 4400D De-Icer.
Flexible mounting options: Suspend the 4400HD using the included 20 ft mooring lines, or pair it with an optional Kasco dock mount or horizontal float for greater control over positioning and water flow.

How It Works & Installation
How the Kasco 4400HD De-Icer Works
The 4400HD circulates warmer water from below the surface upward into colder surface water. This continuous movement helps reduce ice formation and maintain an open-water area around docks, boats, piers, and other waterfront structures.
De-icer coverage varies with water depth, air temperature, mounting angle, water movement, and site conditions. Use the Kasco De-Icer Sizing Chart as a general guide when selecting and positioning a de-icer.
Suspended Installation
The de-icer includes two 20 ft suspension ropes, allowing you to suspend the unit directly in the water.
Adjustable Dock Mounting
Optional Universal and Industrial Dock Mounts let you adjust the de-icer angle and operating depth for different applications.
Horizontal Float Option
An optional Horizontal Float provides another installation method when you prefer to position the de-icer away from a dock or structure.
Timed Control
The optional C-220 control panel is designed for 208-240V de-icers and provides timer-based control of unit operation.
