The Ultrasonic Antifouling system employs single or multiple transducers installed on the inside of a boat's hull to produce a digital multi-frequency ultrasonic signal on the outer surface of the vessel, agitating and destroying organisms which constitute marine growth.

These systems were developed years ago for keeping ponds and cooling-system water towers free of algae and slime. The same technology has now successfully been applied and developed for recreational boats, says maker Absolute Marine Ultrasonics.

Grahame Henderson, who heads up Absolute Marine Ultrasonics, is a boat owner who installed the Ultrasonic system in his vessels 12 months ago. Today, Henderson says his hull is still in pristine 'just anti-fouled' slippery condition, thanks to Ultrasonics, and he is expecting to get another two years before re-painting.

For best results, AMU insist that its Ultrasonic system is installed by its trained installers, who carry underwater ultrasonic measuring devices to guarantee that an effective signal is achieved all around the vessel, ensuring a quality installation and a happy customer.
