I currenty use two circulators that sit on the lake bottom. Less than three weeks ago, the area was ice free.

A shift in the wind blew in chunks of ice about three inches think, and less than a couple of hours later completely encased my dock and the entire area leading to the Long Island Bridge on the Marina side. The circulators were running at the time, and have been running since. The thick ice combined with below zero temps have been a challenge for the circulators to completely open the dock area.

My questions are: How effective would a bubbler be in this situation, and how noisy are the compessors?

Thanks.
