Dock Bubbler Packages
What
you need for a bubbler de-icer for a dock, boathouse or marina.
Email us with questions about keeping
your dock ice free Step
by step guide for setting up your dock bubbler
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! See
our different dock bubbler packages. ** 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

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. Kasco® 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 30–50' 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.

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 ˝ 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 Limited’s 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.

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.
See
our different dock bubbler packages.Compressors compressors and weighted airline
included. 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.
Dock
Bubbler Diffuser Tubing Weighted
De-icer Airhose/Bubbler Tubing Requires only 1 CFM per 100 feet.If you already
have a blower or compressor then all you really need is this weighted bubbler
hose! Lead keeled die-cut diffuser de-icer airline. Requires only 0.01 CFM per
foot and 3 PSI for operation. Price does not include any plugs or connectors.
Buy what you need locally for your particular installation ie: (end plug and barbed
airline inlet 1/2").
Simply lay the weighted bubbler tubing at the outer
extremity of your boathouse, crib or dock and you will leave a lovely open area
free of ice preventing the pressure damage from ice against pilings and other
structural dock damages.

Using
the weighted bubbler tubing this system can keep shallow waters free from ice
using a small air pump that pushes air in to the weighted tubing where slits every
24 inches release bubbles. Can be layed on the pond bottom or lake bottom around
the outside perimeter of your dock or boathouse.
The
bubbler hose can be cut if you need to run two or three smaller sections, just
make up a simple ball valve manifold and you're good to go!
This package
includes, tubing, 4 clamps, 1 connector and the compressor with single outlet
only, you may need one or more 1/2" plug for the end of the bubbler hose
or a T-connector if you want to make a continous loop. Additional partswill depend
