How Do You Winterize a Boat Dock?

When dealing with a permanent dock, winterizing options are somewhat limited. You can either accept the risk of potential ice damage or opt for a more proactive approach by installing a deicer.  As the saying goes its better to prevent a problem than to react once it becomes a problem. This is particularly true for water bodies with frequent fluctuating water levels where there is an elevated risk of ice jacking that can cause significant damage, resulting in costly repairs. Fall is the optimal time to install your deicer getting a head start on protecting your in water property from potential damage during the harsh winter season.

How Does a Deicer Work?

A deicer motor generates thrust, this creates movement in the water, allowing warmer water from the bottom to rise to the surface. The cycling of warmer water to the surface hinders the formation of Ice, helping to protect your boat, docks, pilings and other in-water property from potential ice damage. 

Will Fish Survive in a Frozen Pond?

As pond water freezes, oxygen can not penetrate through the ice and the crucial dissolved oxygen levels in the pond diminish, posing a suffocation risk to fish. Installing a deicer creates an opening at the water's surface, allowing essential oxygen to enter and prevent the threat of a winter fish kill.

How to install a dock bubbler/deicer:

To effectively circulate warmer water from the bottom, the deicer unit must be installed a minimum of 4 to 6 feet below the water surface and at least 1 ft off the bottom. Kasco offers two basic instillation options, rope suspension, or dock mounting. Different de-icing objectives require different mounting approaches, you will need to decide which mounting option is best for you. Vertical instillation creates a circular shaped opening  and angled installation creates an oblong shaped opening at the surface of the ice.
