by step guide for setting up your dock bubbler Click
Here For Complete Deicer Information
Step
1: Install the compressor in your boathous or shed. Build a simple
wooden box if you don't have a nearby shelter handy.
Step 2: Connect the weighted airline to the valve outlet that is supplied
with the compressor. Tighten clamps firmly but do not overtighten.
Step 3: Connect the weighted self-sinking airline to the bubbler tubing.
Do not bend it sharply as it can kink. The lead keel can be cut with
metal shears. Make sure the end of the bubbler tubing has a plug on
the end!
Step 4 : Start the compressor. Having airflow running through the
line during submersion helps ensure your placement is correct as you
can follow the bubbles at the surface and ensure the water movement
is uniform.
Step 5: Install the diffuser de-icer line around the area you want
to keep free from ice. Usually the tubing, which is weighted, is placed
on the outside edge of the structure you are trying to protect. The
tubing should be kept on a fairly consistant depth or you will lose
bubbles in deeper zones. The tubing can also be attached to the pilings
of the dock or fixed to suspended stakes which are attached
to the dock to ensure the tubing is at a consistant depth.
Step 6: You're done..there is no Step 6!
** Bubblers are for dock areas less than 6 feet deep usually and deicers
and thrusting agitators are for dock and marina areas that havemore
than 6 feet of depth.More
Deicer Information
 Arbrux
Deicers
Arbrux Limited is the leading manufacturer of De-Icers in Canada.
The Arbrux de-Icer is known for its reliability and efficiency.
The De-Icer brings the warmer, deeper water from the bottom of a
body of water to the surface to create open water by utilizing a
propeller to move the water at a rate of 500 gallons per minute.
The ฝ HP De-Icer will generally keep a 40 diameter circle open
when the unit is placed 5 below the surface of the water. Positioning
of the De-Icer depends on the area/structure being protected. A
De-Icer installed in a sling mount formation is ideal for boats
and boat houses.
When slung between two mooring points, the De-Icer has less potential
to oscillate. For areas with one mounting point, the De-Icer should
be hung by a single chain. A float mount is also available for De-Icers
that are being used in areas without a mounting point available.
For Installation after freeze up, the De-Icer can be installed through
a hole that has been augured in the ice. This is convenient for
mid winter installations.
The De-Icer comes standard with hooks and ropes for hanging. The
use of a Franklin, stainless steel, water cooled and water lubricated
motor eliminates the concern for oil leakage into the water while
allowing for a maintenance free product.
Their specially designed propeller and drive structure (both made
from reinforced Zytel) create a high water flow while protecting
the propeller and power cord from damage. Arbrux De-Icers are fully
ETL approved. They meet UL and CSA standards for safety.
Arbrux Limiteds De-Icers come standard with 1/2hp, 120V Stainless
Steel Submersible Motors and either 7.5m (25) or 15m (50) power
cables. Other voltages, Hp and cable lengths are available.

Kasco Agitator/Thrust
Deicer
Perfect
for docks in 6 feet+ of water
 1/2
HP Keeps 30'50' ice free!
These Kasco units are also known as submersible de-icers, ice-eaters,
thrusters or dock de-icers. We love the Kasco Marine 1/2 HP as an
all-purpose inexpensive system. Kascoฎ de-icers are designed to be
suspended from a dock, boat or pilings or boat house.
Mounted in either a vertical or horizontal position, the de-icer circulates
water to the surface, causing turbulence that reduces or eliminates
ice formation. The motor assembly is sealed in an oil bath for long
life and has ball bearings that provide smooth operation. The guard
and motor case are made of stainless steel. The 1/2-hp model keeps
a 3050' diameter area from freezing. Each unit includes a motor,
propeller, 20' of suspension rope, guard assembly, zinc anode and
50' of low-temperature-rated power cable. ETL-approved to UL standards.
110V/115V. Two-year warranty.

We've put together the ultimate bubbler packages
We usually help three different kind of people with building their
bubbler; 1 - people with a small boat slip or boathouse they want
to keep ice free so they can leave everything in place and not hail
their boat out every winter, 2-people who have larger docks our breakwaters
out into a bay, lake or pond, either freshwater or saltwater, who
need to keep large areas free of ice, and 3 - marina owners who need
to keep multiple slips and dock pilings free from the pressure crush
of pack ice or moving pack ice which can damage a dock or valuable
boats.
For the small and medium sized applications we have built two all
inclusive packages that include all the componants you need including
compressor, tubing, bubbler line, clamps, connectors, caps and hardware.
The small system includes 100 feet of self-sinking bubbler hose and
100 feet of weighted airline while the larger system has 250' of bubbler
hose and 100 feet of self-sinking airhose.
Rotary Vane Compressor with high efficiency and energy saving build
means electrical costs are at a minimum. The compressors are efficient
rotary vane compressors which provide good airflow and pressure. The
larger systems are rated at 9.5 CFM at 5 PSI and 8.8 CFM at 10 PSI
and are available in single and triple phase configuration. When you
buy our smaller packages the pump is a 1/4 HP rotary vane pump that
delivers 4.0 CFM at 5 PSI and only uses 5 AMPS. The compressors are
not designed to be left outside in the snow and rain so a small shelter
must be built to house the compressor, or you can use a boathouse
or existing fockside shed to put your compressor.
Diffuser Tubing also called Bubble Tubing or De-Icer Tubing can be
useful in bubbler systems and dock and boathouse bubblers when the
traditional de-icers do not work due to the shallow natuer of the
dock. While some people we know have had success building a bubbler
line out of scehedule 40 PVC pipe with small 1/16" holes drilled
every 12 inches or so this can require very large pumps and often
the lines fill with water or perform only partly due to slight differences
in hole size. The tubing in this de-dock bubbler package has unique
die cut slits located every 1-1/2" in groups of three which flex
the airline tubing and allow air bubbles to flow and rise to the surface
performing the deicing. The tubing slits close when air pressure is
stopped and any water that accumulates in the bubbler tubing will
be blown out of the holes upon the re-starting the compressor.

Suitable for de-icing large ponds and lakes
from 1/4 acres to 5 acres. Keeps a single large hole in your pond or lake to allow gases to escape
and to prevent winterkill of fish.
The ultimate low-cost de-icing system for ponds and lakes This
will do a fine job keeping water open in larger ponds and includes
everything you need. The heart of the bubbler is the reliable
rocking piston compressor, which uses only 253 watts at 115V.
The compressor is mounted in a cabinet with an exhaust fan to
provide cool compressor operation. Air is delivered from the
shore-mounted compressor to the air diffuser assembly located
in the deepest area of the pond. This is done via self-weighted
tubing (included) to insure that the tubing and the diffuser
assembly stay securely on the bottom (our weightedtubing does
not contain lead or other metals). The special de-icing diffuser
assembly is a 10" diameter flexible membrane that is ideal for
de-icing applications. The diffuser is mounted on a weighted
plastic support. To prevent any possible bottom erosion and
to give the assembly a stable platform, a 24" x 24" polyethylene
underlay is included. Weighs 63 lbs total. One-year warranty
on all parts, five-year warranty on diffuser. Call for placement
suggestions.
Full system includes: 1/3 HP single piston compressor, ventilated
and lockable cabinet suitable for post mount, self-weighted
diffuser bubbler, all clamps and connectors, 100' weighted tubing,
