Power House P500 Ice Eater ½ HP

Description

PROTECT YOUR DOCK OR BOAT HOUSE FROM ICE DAMAGE THIS WINTER 

Winter doesn’t have to mean worry. Shifting ice can crush docks, destroy boat lifts, and create thousands of dollars in spring repair costs. The Power House P500 Ice Eater is your simple, reliable, and powerful solution to prevent ice formation and protect your waterfront investment. 

This ½ HP workhorse is engineered for Canadian conditions, circulating warmer water to the surface to maintain a vital open water area around your structures. 

How It Protects Your Property: 

• Prevents Structural Damage: Stops ice from expanding and crushing docks, piers, and boat houses. 

• Maintains Access: Keeps a section of water open, preventing your dock from being frozen in. 

• Promotes Water Health: Underwater circulation helps maintain oxygen levels, benefiting the ecosystem. 

• Cost-Effective Insurance: A single season of ice damage can far exceed the cost of an Ice Eater. 

Find the Perfect Fit: Choose Your Cord Length 

The key to effective ice prevention is choosing the right cord length for your specific dock setup. Select your model below to see detailed specifications and pricing.  

Unsure Which Model You Need? 

Use This Simple Guide: 

1. Measure the distance from your outdoor power outlet to the spot in the water where the Ice Eater will hang. 

1. Add extra length for tying up the unit and for a safe, slack loop in the cord. 

1. Choose the next longest cord rather than the one that seems “just enough.” The 50′ cord is our most popular all-around choice. 

Why the Power House P500 is the #1 Choice for Ontario Property Owners: 

• Energy Efficient: Runs on just 6 amps, saving you money on hydro costs.
