Spectra's BioGuard fits simply in line with the coolng system

A new product from Spectra is an easy-fit antifouling system designed for marine air-conditioning systems that takes away the need for washing with caustic solutions.

The BioGuard is a powerful tool to help keep pipes, hoses and heat exchangers free of marine growth and barnacles. Field tests in Florida, a difficult climate for just this kind of growth, gave spectacular results.

Further, since no electrical connections or control systems are necessary and the unit is installed straight into the cooled water supply line, it is particularly easy to put in place. Once there, it is also easy to keep an eye on through the clear housing. And when it needs replacing, changing the alloy module only takes a few minutes.

The Bio-guard comes in four standard sizes and must be matched properly to the HVAC cooling water system: part numbers correspond to the common sizes of the seawater pumps used in standard marine air-conditioning systems. Larger units or special applications are also available.

The cost per unit ranges from around £175 to £310 depending on size required.
