2B Sure - Hull Antifouling System

DESCRIPTION

Using just one electrode from your bow and another from the stern that sit just below the waterline, the 2B Sure antifouling system release copper ions into the water with a 20 metre radius around your hull. This cloud of ioons creates an underwater environment which prevents the growth of micro-organisms. The system can be operated using either a 240V or 12V power supply. The power requirement is minimal and a small battery powered by a small solar panel is all that is required when using the 12V system The environmentally friendly aspects of this system were tested by the Royal Dutch Institute of Marine Biology Research (NIOZ), who confirmed that the elements that are released into the water through the copper electrodes have no damaging effect on the environment. The strength of the ions can be regulated from the control unit with a field density of between 20% and 100%. The control unit also monitors the set-up, and any malfunction will be indicated through an alarm system, which also indicates when the electrodes need changing. Now over 300 units in use in Aust and NZ with great results. Electrode life expectancy  is between 18 months and 2 years and replacement electrodes are $450 a pair. Very wide catamarans would require two systems.
