Engineered to agitate more water than any de-icer on the market today for maximum performance
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.
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.
The Original Ice Eater — Now Made by Airmax
If you're looking for Bearon Aquatics products, you're in the right place. The Ice Eater, Power House Aeration, and Weeds Away brands were sold for years under the Bearon Aquatics name. In 2025, Airmax acquired all three, so the same trusted equipment is now manufactured and supported by Airmax. Every product below is the Power House line you know, now sold under the Airmax name.
The Ice Eater 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 idea — 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 decades of continuous production.
Ice Eater De-Icers
The Ice Eater prevents ice formation and melts existing ice by continuously circulating warmer subsurface water to the surface. Available in three horsepower options to match the size of the area you need to protect:
- 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 or marina layout, typical winter severity, and how much open water you actually need. Mount it with the included mooring lines, the dock mount, or the shallow water stand.
Power House Surface Aerators
Power House surface aerators bring the same rugged, repairable design to warm-weather pond aeration. Add the optional large float cage, or light it up at night with color-changing or white LED light sets.
Weeds Away Circulators
Weeds Away uses the Ice Eater's circulation principle in the warm season — creating current that moves weeds, muck, and silt away from docks and swim areas and keeps water from stagnating.
