When using surface agitaors or pvc bubbler hose as a bubbler system is not practical or too costly these diffused air de-icing systems can be installed eaily and provide effective protection from ice damage. Instead of long lengths of bubbler hose these systems use a more standard diffuser that sits on the bottom near the structure needing protection that releases larger coarse bubbles to the surface which can create less ice buildup and open waters to mitigate ice pressure damage to pilings or boathouses.

Step 1 : Install the compressor in your boathouse or shed.
Step 2 : Connect the weighted airline to the valve outlet that is supplied with the compressor. Tighten clamps firmly but do not overtighten.
Step 3 : Connect the weighted self-sinking airline to the weighted diffuser assemblies.
Step 4 : Once you have positioned your diffusers start the compressor and do a visual check to ensure there is a good even flow of bubbles from all diffusers under your dock or boathouse. Adjust the control valvesso that all diffusers are releasing bubbles that will ensure a constant movement in the targetted areas.
Step 5 : Usually the tubing, which is weighted, is placed on the outside edge of the structure you are trying to protect. Thediffusers can be placed near the footings or pilings pilings of the dock or attached to the dock appropriately.
