Dock Bubbler recommendation

Seeker · 10-13-2009, 02:37 PM

I am trying to protect a small section of my shoreline, about 20', from ice as I am sick of rebuilding it every year. It is where my dock ramp attaches. I cannot use a prop type circulator as the water is not deep enough. Therefore an air bubbler type is what I am looking for. The only one I have found is the Dock Bubbler (www.dockbubbler.com) made by LMI I believe.
Does anyone use this brand or have experience, good or bad, with it? It uses a linear compressor and costs $575 to protect a 20' dock section. I won't have the dock section in but just loop it out from the shoreline. I'm in a protected area when it comes to ice out so am not worried about that time.
I've searched other threads here but haven't seen this brand mentioned.
Thanks for any help.
