Know before you buy
The Slinger is specifically engineered to move 400 gallons of water per minute, pulling warmer water from the bottom of the lake to the surface. This constant circulation prevents ice from forming or expanding against your dock pilings and boat hulls.
Yes, the Slinger is built with high-density polyurethane and stainless steel, making it suitable for both freshwater and saltwater marinas.
No, the unit features an oil-free motor design. This eliminates the risk of oil leaks into your pond or lake and reduces the need for routine maintenance.

The unit requires a standard 115V/60Hz single-phase power source. Because it uses a Hubbell marine-style plug, ensure your dock or shoreline power pedestal is equipped with a compatible marine-grade receptacle.
