EasyPro Air De-Icing System for Shallow Water
Professional Shallow Water De-Icing System for Winter Pond Protection
The EasyPro Air De-Icing System for Shallow Water is specifically designed to prevent ice formation in shallow ponds, water gardens, and small lakes during winter months. This complete aeration system keeps a hole open in the ice, allowing harmful gases to escape while maintaining oxygen levels for fish survival.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What depth of water is this system designed for?
A: This system is specifically designed for shallow water applications. Consult the product specifications for recommended depth ranges. For deeper ponds, consider a standard bottom-diffuser de-icing system.
Q: Will this completely prevent ice formation?
A: The system keeps a hole open in the ice rather than preventing ice formation entirely. This opening is sufficient to allow gas exchange and maintain oxygen levels for fish survival.
Q: Is this safe for fish during winter?
A: Yes! The system is designed to protect fish during winter by maintaining oxygen levels and allowing toxic gases to escape. The gentle aeration won't stress fish in their dormant winter state.
Q: How much energy does this use?
A: Air-based de-icing systems are generally more energy-efficient than electric heaters. The air compressor runs continuously but uses significantly less electricity than heating elements.
Q: When should I start running the de-icer?
A: Start the system before ice begins to form, typically when water temperatures approach freezing. Running it continuously throughout winter provides the best protection.
