    It would take a lot of salt and wouldnt probably be good for the lake. Any device that has a propeller or blows bubbles in to the water to churn it works.

    how about a bag of water softener tablets there cheap and don't think they would hurt anything that's what my neighbor uses on his drive way to melt the ice

    I think he's talking about something that goes in the lake to keep the ice from damaging the dock.

    have seen some subdivisions built on 10-50 acre lakes that use those bubble systems around all their docks, many even leave their pontoons tied up to the docks also--all winter, must work (as long as they don't loose power) cause they been doing it for 3-4 years now that I know of............

    Seen similar set-ups, a guy could make one easy. All you need is an air compressor and some hose. The bubbles do all the work!
