Buyer Guide De-Icers & Salt Spreaders
If you’re looking for a salt spreader or de-icer, here are a few things you should keep in mind.- Are you spreading salt on a road, on an airfield, in a parking lot, or on a walkway?
- Product Rating. Salt spreaders and de-icers are rated according to how durable they are. A higher-rated product will be more durable.
- Capacity. How much salt are you spreading? A single-cell de-icer is 4.2 lbs., whereas a 6-cell de-icer is 26 lbs.
- Weight. Weight is mostly related to portability and ease of use. If portability isn’t an issue, most salt spreaders and de-icers will be light enough to carry.
- Salt Type Required. The salt type required varies by application. If you’re spreading salt on a road, you should be using rock salt. If you’re spreading salt on an airfield, you should be using regular salt. If you’re spreading salt on a parking lot, you should be using fine-grade salt.
How to choose De-Icers & Salt Spreaders
When the weather turns cold, it’s important to make sure that your car is winter-ready. For many, this means stocking up on snow-melting salt spreaders, de-icer fluid, and a scraper.Salt spreaders and de-icer fluid are two of the most essential winter car products. When shopping for these products, it’s important to do your research. Salt spreaders and de-icer fluid come in a variety of forms, including granules, liquid, and sprays.
Sprinkle salt on icy patches. If you’re dealing with icy patches, sprinkle salt on the shortest route that a car would take to travel, according to Consumer Reports. Using salt as a de-icer will help keep the ice from accumulating longer.
Remove snow. After you’ve sprinkled salt on icy patches, it’s important to remove snow that has accumulated on your car’s roof, windows, and doors. Consumer Reports recommends using a scraper or snow brush to do this.
Use liquid or spray de-icer. De-icer fluid comes in liquid or spray form, according to Consumer Reports. Spread liquid de-icer fluid on icy patches (it has a lower freezing point than snow so that it won’t melt the ice). Spray de-icer on snow.
Apply ice-melting spray. Apply ice-melting spray to snow-covered areas. The spray melts the snow and keeps it from accumulating.
Clean salt spreader. After you’ve used salt spreaders and de-icer fluid, it’s important to clean them to avoid corrosion. Consumer Reports recommends using brake cleaner.
How to maintain De-Icers & Salt Spreaders
Salt spreaders and de-icers are used to help prevent snow and ice-related accidents, but its important to keep them in tip-top shape so that they can be effective.- Regularly check batteries. Most salt spreaders and de-icers run on batteries or electricity. If you find that the batteries arent holding a charge, you should replace them as soon as possible.
- Check the pressure. Salt spreaders and de-icers use compressed air to propel salt across driveways, but its important to regularly check these hoses to make sure they are in good condition. If you notice that the pressure is dropping, it may be time to replace the hose.
- Clean the salt spreader. Salt spreaders and de-icers can get quite dirty, especially if you are regularly using them. It is a good idea to clean the salt spreader after each use, especially if it has been used in the winter.
- Check the blades. Salt spreaders and de-icers use metal blades to cut through the snow and ice. If the blades become dull, they may not be able to cut through the ice as effectively as they should. It is a good idea to periodically sharpen the blades.
- Check the engine. Salt spreaders and de-icers need to be hooked up to a power source. If you find that your spreader or de-icer is not adequately powering on, you should replace it.
