De-Icing with a Linear Diffuser | Ice Melting Tubing
Example:
The lake is shallow at the seawall / lakewall, ranging from a few inches to about one foot.
The length of the wall is approximately 125 feet.
For De-Icing applications over a linear distance, using a Koenders Electric Aerator
and Linear Diffuser like Ice Melting Tubing, instead of an aeration stone, would work.
