A method and controls for cyclical operation of ice reducers in open bodies of water. An ambient condition transducer provides an ambient signal representing the amplitude of a condition affecting ice formation. A timer cyclically produces a ramp signal, thereby setting the frequency of cycles for operation of a water movement device. In each cycle a comparator compares the relative amplitudes represented by the ambient and ramp signals and gates power to said device upon a change in the sign of the difference between said amplitudes. Thus the duration of gated power in each cycle is a function of the ambient condition.
