The present invention is a stationary, portable deicing machine for preventing snow and ice build up on any targeted surface, such as driveways, walkways and rooftops. The invention is a compact, integrated reservoir/pump/controller system that may be operated manually, automatically or by remote control. The invention is easily maintainable and may be left in a state of preparedness for use in the event of icing conditions. The liquid chemical deicing agent is contained in a temporary reservoir tank that is manually replaced. The temporary reservoir tank is placed upon the watertight base. The deicing agent is pumped from the watertight base to the distribution system. Apertures in the distribution system allow for the deicing agent to be distributed to any targeted surface. A primary benefit is a greatly increased margin of safety for the users of driveways, walkways, etc. to which the invention applies the deicing agents. Another benefit is a reduction in the injuries and deaths related to the physically strenuous activity of shoveling snow and ice.
