De-icer

Keep it Green KIG40 Snow & Ice Melter.  We have it listed on our Product Recommendation page (click here).    If you can't find the eco-friendly products then use potassium, magnesium or calcium chloride products.  These are less corrosive to metal and concrete than salt and are relatively less harmful to the plants.  The chlorine in these products is the main problem. 

Here are some pointers for de-icing.

• If you have a recurring ice build up problem then try and re-route the water so it does not collect.
• Use small amounts or de-icer to treat icy areas.  Don't overdose.  A little chemical usually will do the job.
• Pre-treat the problem area or the area where you expect a problem.
• Most of the DE-icers don't work below 5 degrees.  If it is that cold, stay in and wait for warmer temperatures.
