Buyer Guide De-Icers & Salt Spreaders

For an in-depth look at the different types of salt spreaders and de-icers available, please read this guide.

• Electric Salt Spreaders. Electric salt spreaders pump brine out through a tube. This automatic method eliminates the need to manually refill the salt reservoir.
• Manual Salt Spreaders. Manual salt spreaders require you to manually pour salt onto the salt reservoir. Salt is then pumped out by auger-like devices.
• Snow Pushers. Snow pushers are similar to salt spreaders, but designed for snow instead of salt.
• De-Icers. Similar to salt spreaders, de-icers pump brine out through a tube. This automatic method eliminates the need to manually refill the salt reservoir.
• Pusher De-Icers. Pusher de-icers, also called snow pushers, typically feature auger-like devices that push snow in a circular path.

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 used to help prevent snow and ice-related accidents, but it’s 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 aren’t 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 it’s 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.
