ULTRASONIC ANTI-FOULING
Get 24/7 protection from barnacles, sludge, & fouling - Hull Shield keeps your bottom clean with SOUND!
Introducing the most effective ultrasonic anti-fouling system available to retail consumers. Hull Shield systems are engineered with the same ultrasonic anti-fouling technology used by the US Coast Guard, Navy, and commercial shipping vessels.
The Hull Shield system is a “must have” for everyone who has their boat in the water. Our systems are cost-effective units that prevent bio-fouling from attaching to your hull. Less haul-outs saves valuable time and money. Our ultrasonic antifouling systems work on every type of boat including: V-Hull, pontoon, power cat, sailing, yacht, & commercial vessels.
Powerful Anti-Fouling Protection Sized for Your Needs
Fully automatic protection for your hull and stern gear sized to your needs. We have engineered a range pf versatile anti-fouling systems which can be used as stand-alone units or combined for extended protection on larger vessels.
Single systems can complement boats up to 48 feet. Systems can also be combined to
increase coverage and protection for vessels up to 200+ feet in length.
HD4 Ultrasonic Antifouling System for Hulls, Drives, & More
The HD4 is a four-transducer system engineered as a stand-alone system that can add antifouling protection to hulls, drives, rudders, stabilizers, and more. This single system can provide ultrasonic antifouling protection for hulls up to 50ft in length or can be combined with additional systems for larger vessels. The HD4 can also be tasked with protecting drives and can provide coverage for two drives and two rudders simultaneously.
HD1 Ultrasonic Antifouling System for Hulls, Drives, & More
Combine systems for vessels of any length
The Hull Shield HD1 is a single transducer and controller built with our latest technology and engineered to provide the most efficient and powerful ultrasonic antifouling to-date. Use independently or combine for extended protection.
BioFouling Prevention
Hull Shield Ultrasonic Systems work continuously to target and prevent bio-fouling from developing on your boat.
Save Time & Money
Reduce your anti-fouling costs, enjoy less haul-outs, and save time with a Hull Shield Ultrasonic cleaning system installed.
Increase Performance
Hull fouling cripples the performance of your boat. Increase your speed and fuel economy with a cleaner hull.
How Ultrasonic Anti-Fouling Works
Hull Shield ultrasonic systems work by emitting pulses of low power signals. These signals are transmitted directly to the hull through transducers attached within the bilge. Antifouling transducers are similar to the transducers you already have installed for sonar & depth finding equipment. In fact, ultrasonic antifouling was first discovered by the US Navy when it was observed that no fouling occurred within a distance of sonar domes found on submarine and ship hulls.
Since that discovery, specific frequencies have been determined to disrupt the growth of marine fouling. For example, barnacle attachment is deterred by frequencies between 20KHz – 25KHz, while the cellular structure and reproductive cycle of algae is disrupted with frequencies between 40KHz – 60KHz.
The Hull Shied system works by creating pulses targeting specific frequency bands to effectively reduce and stop marine fouling from attaching to your hull bottom while working in conjunction with a soft ablative bottom paint.
