Ice Eater® Shallow Water Stand
Heavy-duty, adjustable stand for mounting Power House Ice Eater & Weeds Away units in shallow water zones.
Why Choose This Stand
- Perfect for shallow water: Mounts Ice Eater and Weeds Away units securely when no dock or piling is available.
- Improves performance: Adds directional flow, stability, and optimized angle/aim for better weed control and ice prevention.
- All-season utility: Winter de-icing, summer weed control, creating fishing currents, and clearing debris around docks and boats.
- Heavy-duty build: Marine-grade, corrosion-resistant components for freshwater and saltwater environments.
- Easy to assemble: Ready to put together out of the box—follow the step-by-step user manual for safe operation.
Compatibility
Designed for use with Power House circulators and de-icers, including:
- Ice Eater® (3/4 HP or 1 HP)
- Weeds Away (3/4 HP or 1 HP)
Also compatible with many common “water blower” style circulators of similar form factor.
Key Features
- Heavy-Duty Stand: Built to stabilize higher-horsepower motors (¾–1 HP) during continuous operation.
- 360° Rotation: Aim the flow precisely where you need it.
- Adjustable Tilt: Five selectable positions up to approximately 45° to tailor flow pattern and coverage.
- Corrosion-Resistant: Marine-grade materials withstand long-term exposure in ponds, lakes, marinas, and coastal areas.
- Freshwater & Saltwater Ready: Durable components designed for both environments.
How It Works
- Water near the bottom is naturally warmer (geothermal influence).
- The unit’s propeller draws warmer water upward through the column.
- Continuous circulation of warmer water prevents ice formation at the surface.
- A clearance zone forms around docks, boats, shorelines, or target areas.
Coverage shape by mounting angle: Mount vertical for a more circular pattern, or angled for an elliptical pattern and directional push.

Installation & Setup
- Ready to assemble out of the box—follow the step-by-step manual.
- Place stand on a firm, level bottom at the target location.
- Attach the unit to the adjustable yoke; select tilt angle and aim using 360° rotation.
- Verify minimum water depth (≈1.5–2 ft) for proper flow and clearance.
- Route power cord safely; use GFCI protection and follow all electrical codes.
Maintenance
- Inspect regularly for weeds, scum, or debris; remove promptly to prevent damage or reduced performance.
- Check fasteners and tilt/rotation joints for tightness, especially after storm events.
- Rinse with fresh water in saltwater applications to extend service life.
Periodically inspect the stand and motor for weed/scum buildup and remove debris. Check fasteners and moving joints. Debris and foreign objects can damage the motor if not cleared.
