Dock Deicers and Lake Bubblers for Winter Protection

A properly designed and expertly installed system of deicing equipment such as dock deicers or lake bubblers is the most effective way to protect your marina’s permanent docks, boats, and hoists from ice damage during the winter.

By planning ahead of falling temperatures, you can reduce the potential for structural damage and investment losses.

Protect Your Docks and Lakes in Winter

Clarke Aquatic Services provides a comprehensive set of services to handle your deicing and winterization needs:

    • Permanent structure assessment and consultation
    • Distribution of deicing equipment from top manufactures, such as dock deicers or lake bubblers
    • Initial installation as well as ongoing maintenance, repairs, and parts replacement
    • Seasonal storage of fountains and aerators along with motor testing

Whether you are looking for a new, custom-designed deicing solution, need to replace aging equipment, or require supplemental labor to manage the installation of your existing deicing system, Clarke is equipped to help. To speak with one of our experts regarding your community’s needs, contact us here.

What are the Benefits of having a Deicing System for your Marinas & Docks?

During the colder months, ice growth can cause significant damage to your permanent docks and infrastructure, including:

    • Warping of your dock
    • Breaking and heaving of the dock structure
    • Mechanical and structural damage to docked boats

Installing a deicing system for your permanent lake structures and docks will go a long way towards preventing dock damage from ice. Deicing can be accomplished in several ways depending on the unique characteristics of your body of water. The two main types of deicers include:

    1. Dock mounted deicing units or circulators, also known as Agitator Deicers or Dock Deicers
    2. Subsurface aeration systems, also known as Bubble Deicers or Lake Bubblers

Learn more about the deicing process, protection against dock damage from ice and overall winterization needs for your docks by reading Clarke’s Guide to Deicing and Winterization and contact one of our experts to assess your community’s unique needs here.
