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

Salt spreaders and de-icers are essential tools to have on hand during the winter months. If you’re worried about getting stuck out in the cold this winter, then read on.

• Consider your salt needs. How much salt do you typically need? Salt spreaders and de-icers come in all different shapes and sizes. If you have a small driveway or a small family, a small, handheld de-icer might be the best option for you.
• Is battery life important? Some de-icers can be battery-powered, which can be useful if you’re stuck outside in a snowstorm. However, some battery-powered de-icers aren’t very portable, and using them can be inconvenient.
• Consider which type of salt to use. If you live in an area that has salt brine, then you’ll want to consider keeping a bag of salt brine on hand so you can use it on icy surfaces.
• Do all de-icers require manual activation? Some de-icers require manual activation, while others use motion sensors. Manual activation de-icers can take a little bit of time but require no battery power. Motion sensors require battery power, but you can start them as soon as you step outside.

How to maintain De-Icers & Salt Spreaders

Salt spreaders and de-icers are a great way to get clear, clean roads in the winter. However, if you use these products, it’s important to keep them clean so they don’t accumulate debris or ice.

• Wash the spreader or de-icer. After each use, wash the salt spreader or de-icer with warm water and dish soap.
• Dry the spreader or de-icer. After washing, dry the spreader or de-icer.
