Engineered to agitate more water than any de-icer on the market today for maximum performance
The Airmax Weeds Away is a powerful aquatic blower designed to clear away weeds, silt, and debris from around your dock or shoreline. With its strong thrust and directional control, it keeps your waterfront clean and promotes healthier water circulation.
Power House Surface Aerators can be used in shallow water applications such as residential ponds and lakes, retention ponds, leachate ponds, commercial aquaculture, industrial lagoons, wastewater lagoons, and marinas. applications and ponds from 1/4 to 1.5 acres.
Bearon Aquatic’s Aerating Fountains provide excellent aeration to any lake or pond while displaying a stunning circular-V shaped pattern.
Home of the Original Ice Eater — Trusted Dock, Pond, and Marina De-Icing Since the 1980s
The Ice Eater is the original de-icer, and Bearon Aquatics is its current home. The product traces back to a Chesapeake Bay fish kill in the 1980s, when its inventor equipped an early version with a flotation collar to keep open water available through winter. That same shrouded-propeller design — pulling warmer water up from below to melt and prevent ice around docks, boats, and marinas — is still the core of the Ice Eater today, refined over more than five decades of continuous production.
Beyond de-icing, Bearon also manufactures Power House floating fountains and surface aerators, along with the Weeds Away water circulator — all built on the same rugged, repairable philosophy that made the Ice Eater a category standard. In 2025, Airmax acquired the Ice Eater, Power House Aeration, and Weeds Away brands, so Bearon products now carry Airmax's manufacturing and support behind them while keeping the Bearon Aquatics name customers already know.
Ice Eater De-Icers
The Ice Eater prevents ice formation and melts existing ice by continuously circulating warmer subsurface water to the surface. It ships complete with suspension lines and mooring hardware, ready to hang and plug in. Available across four horsepower options to match the size of the area you need to protect:
- P250 — 1/4 HP
- P500 — 1/2 HP
- P750 — 3/4 HP
- P1000 — 1 HP
Higher horsepower models keep larger areas open but draw more electricity, so the right size depends on your dock/marina layout, typical winter severity, and how much open water you actually need.
Power House Fountains & Surface Aerators
Built by the same team behind the Ice Eater, Power House fountains and surface aerators bring that same energy-efficient, repairable design to warm-weather pond aeration and display. Rather than replacing a unit when something wears out, Power House equipment is designed to be serviced and repaired.
Weeds Away Circulators
Weeds Away uses the Ice Eater's circulation principle in reverse season — running through summer months to create current that discourages weed and muck buildup and keeps water moving instead of stagnating.
