Slush removel

[Coldwater Crappie Guy]

What is the best way to get rid of the ice after you get done drilling your holes in a fish house?

I have not used the Slush Bucket or the Slush Copter that you connect to a drill, or the Slush inhaler. Pros or cons. I just dont want a lot of water in the house if I can avoid it.

Also, I am interested in buying some hole sleeves for the ice holes. Pros or cons with them??

I purchased a Slush Copter that you hook up a 18v drill with.

I read many reviews on this unit and yes, it is as good as all say.

One of the best tools I have used in years.

Cleans all the slush out, does not come back up the hole and all but nothing for water in the house or on the floor.

I would rate this unit a 12 out of 10 for performance.

Check out all the reviews on google, you will see what users think of this unit. Well worth the small cost.

I use hole sleeves and love them. I also use a slush bucket while I am drilling my holes for next to no snow on the floor while drilling, works good, I made mine.

I see not con's in any of these 3 units, I would say a must have for drilling holes fast and having the least amount of mess or water on the floor.

I've had good luck with the slush inhaler and last season got a tip from here about drilling your holes before lowering your house. I used to use a slush bucket but now I don't need it, pretty much no water or ice chips in the house and best of all it's free!

I tried drilling my holes and dropping the house, trouble for me was, the holes did not always line up even.

Slush copter is great, they work like magic and amaze people that see them for the first time. New people always jump to the other holes to see where the slush goes, it never does come up though. Inhalers work too but you still need to carry out the slush and it's HEAVY. My only knock on hole sleeves is once you're on a spot for a couple days they put a lot more snow in the hose than without and I've never been to nuts about slush buckets because, once again, HEAVY. With my new wheelhouse I'm pretty close to the ice, with my old ones hole sleeves were a must have. This is also a testimonial to a fully foamed house and floor.

the paint mixer from menards works quite well too for about 5 bucks.

Thanks for all the info.

I am going to go with the Copter..Sounds just like what I am looking for.

You will be happy with the Copter, As mentioned above, I would clear a hole on the ice and others would come over to see it work and say, where did you get that.

I may buy a few extra's to sell on the lake next season, little demo and it's sold.

First off drilling with your house in the air is the only way to go. Once you do it a few times you'll know how to drill the holes to get them to line up. With my house you gotta drill as close to the side that is towards the front of the house. Drilling up in the air take care of a lot of slush and finish it off with a slush inhalor. Bought a slush copter after the end of the fishing season and can't wait to try it out given all the reviews.

How does the Slush Copter work if your holes are relatively close to each other? I like the idea of it but with my house some of the holes are as close as 16" from edge to edge and I could see it cleaning one hole and pushing it into the next. I don't know since I never used one yet.

JSK76, the slush copter will work just fine for you. The slush dissolves as it gets below the ice. One of my best investments. It's a lifesaver on the back.

[Hawg]

Besides JSK, you could sell it to the first person you show it to if you didn't like it-but you will love it.

Slush Copter never leave home without it.

Slush inhaler and a slush bucket for me.
