01 / UNDERSTAND YOUR WATER

The power is in
the water.

A de-icer doesn’t heat the lake.
It puts its stored warmth to work.

Explore the 3400D →

Coverage comes from the Marine Deicer sizing matrix, based on Kasco’s chart for large, deep bodies of water. Manufacturer minimum: 4 ft; our recommendation: 6 ft or more. Wind, current, shallow water and obstructions can reduce the opening. This tool compares published figures; it is not a site-specific guarantee.

MARINAS · MULTIPLE SLIPS · COMPLEX SITES

Some water needs
a bigger conversation.

A marina is more than an area calculation. Hulls, pilings, wind and current all shape the system. Bring your layout to the Natural Waterscapes team.
