De-Icer/360° Oscillator Combo
We combine a 1 h.p. De-Icer (Aerator) with a 50′ power cord and an Electric 360° Oscillator Unit for summer aerator applications (Other sizes also available). Helps to keep stagnant water moving during summer months and clears away unwanted weeds and silt from your waterfront.
The Aquathruster 360 degree Oscillator attachment is fully programmable to turn 0 or 360 degrees. (Adjusts 20 degrees every 20 minutes)
The oscillating motor runs on low voltage power so the operational costs are minimal. Adding it to your current set up takes just a couple of minutes.
The Aquathruster 360 degree Oscillator has an optional 100′ power cord that can be ordered and the Kasco De-Icer/Aerator is available in different horse powers and power cord lengths to further suit your waterfront configuration.
Here you will find the AquaThruster 360 assembly and installation manual, and below are a few informative videos from Weeders Digest on The Aqua Thruster, How it works, and How to program the Aqua Thruster 360!
Recommended configuration to our dock system would require a 360 Degree Aqua Thruster Oscillator with a 50′ power cord, a 1 HP. Kasco De-Icer/Aerator with a 50′ power cord, and our aluminum dock bracket.
HitcHinge – De-Icer (Aerator) Mounting Poles
HitcHinge has developed a couple options for mounting your deicer (aerator) to the side of your dock. We supply a Fixed Pole Mount unit as well as a Rotating Pole Mount unit.
Both units come with a pole length of 5′ and require a half hinge to mount to the side of your dock, a pitch angle mount, stainless steel straps to attach the De-Icer (aerator) to the Angle mount as well as the version of the pole you desire to use.
Adjustments to the Fixed Pole Mount are made by loosening the half hitch (component attached to the dock) where it clamps onto the pole. Once loosened you can change the direction and the depth of the aerator. Once the bolt is loosen be sure to hold on tight as it bears the whole weight of the unit. With the Rotational Mount, once you determine the depth of the aerator and tighten the Half Hitch you can easily adjust the direction of the unit by loosening the bolt at the handle and rotating it, without having to adjust the depth, and then re-tightening the bolt to keep it in place. (Handles pictures below)
Fixed Pole Mounts: (includes Half Hitch, Fixed Pole Mount 5′, Pitch Mount, Stainless Steel Clamps)
Rotational Pole Mounts: (includes Half Hitch, Rotating Pole Mount 5′, Pitch Mount, Stainless Steel Clamps)
The handle on the left side is the handle for the Fixed unit. The handle on the right side is for the Rotating Unit. On the rotating unit just simply loosen the bolt and you can easily adjust the angle direction you want your aerator to blow out the debris.

The Kasco de-icer draws warmer denser water from the bottom of the lake and circulates it upward to the surface to prevent ice formation. This is an excellent way to help prevent ice damage to your waterfront or boathouse.
Directional Mount for De-Icer
This mounting option works well in applications where a dock is available to mount the unit to and in wet slip boathouses where having several angling options of the De-Icer is desired. Due to shipping limitations, a 1″ pipe extension needs to be supplied by the purchaser to connect the “underwater parts” and “above water” parts.
Float and Mount for De-Icer
The easy-to-assemble kit consists of stainless steel components and a flotation block. The De-Icer unit is mounted horizontally to the surface of the water, just below the flotation block. The De-Icer can be angled in several positions; horizontal and above and below horizontal.
Temperature Sensor
The C-10 uses an Air Temperature Thermostat to turn the De-Icer on when the temperature drops below a set temperature that you have preset.
Time/Temp Control Box
Controls the amount of time the De-Icer is on to save on your electrical bill. It uses both an Air Temperature Thermostat and a Timer Clock to operate the De-Icer.
