What is Biofouling? 

Biofouling is the buildup of algae, barnacles, mussels, and other marine organisms on your hull, propeller, rudder, and more.

What is Ultrasonic Antifouling? 

Ultrasonic Antifouling is the use of ultrasound to prevent the growth of marine life on your boat.

How Does it Work? 

Ultrasonic waves are transmitted through the hull via transducers which are permanently glued to the inside of the hull.  The ultrasonic waves travel through the hull and create a microscopic barrier in the water which prevents any growth from occurring.

NO cutting.  NO holes in your hull.

FAQs

Does it Make Noise?

No.  The ultrasonic waves are emitted between 20-60 kHz, beyond the hearing ability of humans.

How Long Does it Last?

The circuit boards in the control boxes have no moving parts and are extremely reliable.  We have transducers on thousands of vessels, some of which are 10 years old without a single failure. 

Does it Need to Be On All the Time?

Yes.  The unit needs to run 24/7 to be effective at preventing growth.  A trickle charger or shore power is required.

Will it Clean a Dirty Boat?

No.  Ultrasonic is preventative and the hull needs to be clean to start with.

Does it Affect Surrounding Marine Life?

No.  High frequency ultrasonic waves do not travel through water.  Marine mammals communicate at extremely low frequencies.
