Description
Bearon Aquatics Ice Eater P500 (Powerhouse P500)
Protect your assests before the ice sets! ™
The Bearon Aquatics Ice Eater, the original de-icer, sets the standard for superior quality, durability, and performance. Designed to prevent ice buildup around boats, marinas, docks, and piers, it efficiently melts existing ice by generating a continuous flow of warmer bottom water that breaks through the surface. This innovative de-icing solution ensures safe and reliable ice management, making it an essential tool for maintaining clear water and preventing ice damage in cold weather conditions.
Features & Benefits
Custom Designed for Maximum Efficiency – Engineered for optimal performance in all climates, providing reliable de-icing in both fresh and saltwater environments.
Superior Water Agitation – Agitates more freshwater and saltwater than any other de-icer on the market, ensuring more effective ice prevention and melting.
Patented PVC Venturi Housing – Heavy-duty design ensures superior water flow and protects the motor and propeller for long-lasting durability.
Durable Bronze End-bell – Built to last, the bronze end-bell prevents cracking or warping, ensuring a longer lifespan for the unit.
Quick Disconnect Power Cord – Makes replacement simple and convenient, ensuring easy maintenance and hassle-free operation.
Environmentally Friendly Lubrication – Uses a non-toxic, biodegradable dielectric lubricating fluid that is safe for the environment.
How It Works
The Ice Eater uses its powerful propeller to draw warmer subsurface water and direct it to the surface, creating continuous circulation that prevents ice formation and effectively melts existing ice. Its unique venturi shroud design, featuring outwardly flared ends, maximizes upward thrust and draws warmer water from deeper depths compared to conventional de-icers. This advanced design ensures more efficient ice prevention and melting, providing superior performance in maintaining ice-free conditions.
Why Buy the Original De-icer?
Ice Eater is shipped complete with suspension lines and shackles. Therefore, it can be taken out of the box, hung from a boat, dock, or pier and plugged in.
Unlike other de-icing units, Ice Eater requires no additional hardware to obtain the desired de-icing pattern. Just move a shackle from one hole to another hole on the top rim, and you can quickly change the angle the Ice Eater is suspended at.
The average operating depth of the Ice Eater is between two and three feet, but for best performance, ensure there is at least one foot between the Ice Eater and the seabed.
