How the Kasco De-Icer Works
Suspends from your dock or boat with the included mooring lines.
Propeller-driven circulation draws up warmer water from below.
Warmer water rises, disrupting the freezing cycle.
Maintains a reliable ice-free zone up to 50 ft. in diameter.
Mounting Options
Every unit ships with suspension ropes, but you can upgrade for added convenience:
Universal Dock Mount – Attaches to a dock or piling. Easily adjust depth and angle with a 1 in. pipe (supplied by customer).
Industrial Dock Mount – Built with stainless steel and galvanized parts for tough, industrial environments. Uses a 1.5 in. / 40 mm pipe (supplied by customer).
Optional Controllers
Take full control of your de-icer with Kasco’s thermostat options:
C-20 Time & Temperature Control – Set both temperature and time of day for operation.
C-10 Thermostat Control – Automatically powers your unit on/off at a set air temperature.

Tips for Using Your Kasco De-Icer
Maximize the performance of your Kasco De-Icer by following these proven setup and positioning tips. Proper placement ensures the largest ice-free zone while protecting your dock, boats, and shoreline.
Shallow Water De-Icing
How it works: A de-icer draws warmer, denser water from the bottom and circulates it upward, preventing ice from forming or melting existing ice.
Setup tip: Place the de-icer near a deeper water area and angle it toward the shallow area. This pushes warm water into shallow zones, keeping them ice-free.
Best for: Protecting wildlife access (e.g., waterfowl) and keeping shallow shorelines open.
Boat De-Icing
Positioning: Install the de-icer at or near the bow, angled toward the stern.
For large boats:
Multiple units may be required.
Follow the natural contour of the hull for best results.
Mounting options:
Hang from cleats and suspend under the hull.
For very wide hulls, suspend units on both sides.
In deeper water, diffusers can be installed directly under the hull.
Dock, Pier & Shoreline De-Icing
Dock/Pier setup: Place the de-icer at an angle directing water toward the shoreline or retaining wall.
Result: Creates a “T-shaped” open-water pattern, extending protection along both the dock and shoreline.
Shoreline management:
If open shoreline water is not desired, install vertically.
Use a water curtain to restrict flow beyond a chosen boundary.
Water Fluctuations & Tidal Areas
Fixed setup: Position the de-icer so it sits midway between the low and high tide depths.
Floating setup: Tie the de-icer to a boat or floating dock so it automatically rises and falls with the tide.
Installation Guidelines
Always use the provided mooring lines or a mounting kit to secure your de-icer.
Ensure the unit is angled correctly for your application (shallow, boat, dock, or shoreline).
For best results, test the unit in calm conditions and adjust placement before winter’s coldest days.
Pair with a Kasco Control Panel (C-10 or C-20) for automated operation, saving energy while maximizing protection.
Pro Tip: Experiment with angles and placement early in the season—small adjustments can dramatically increase the size of your ice-free area.
