One of my docks does not lift up so I put a circulator in next to it. In April, when a 100 foot area in front of it was clear I shut it off. The following morning a large mass of ice blew in with the wind and wiped out my dock. Nothing would have prevented that except some triple pilings.
Oh well............

This is exactly why I don't see what circulators do. What good does it really do to have your dock clear of ice in the winter? Do they keep the posts from moving just a little??We originally used bubblers until we decided we couldn't see what they did. Now our docks lift up. I have seen docks wiped out in the spring by the moving ice and that is the only way I have seen them wiped out. Maybe someone can enlighten me as to what good it really does to use them? I would really like to know.
