Talking One Word: Aquatherm

1) Call Winnipesaukee Aquatherm in Alton. They (he) provides a seasonal ice-protection service in the area and may be able to advise.

2) You may not need any ice protection: Are the stairs under water during the winter season? The lake is normally drained to a much lower level than summer.

3) Two new neighbors run their circulators to the point that water is cleared around my dock. I have both "gray-box" timers and thermostat, but may be able to unplug mine altogether!
