Hydro Clean Hull Wash operates machines that mechanically clean boat hulls. This system eliminates the need for divers to clean the hull and apply toxic anti-fouling paint. This user-friendly hull cleaning system saves both time and money for the boat owner, while generating an income stream for marinas. This system’s positive impact on the environment has rapidly gained recognition throughout bot
h Europe and Canada.

ECO-FRIENDLY
Hydro Clean Hull Wash protects the Environment by removing aquatic invasive species and eliminating the use of bottom paint. This system has a self contained and impermeable basin catching all organic and particulate materials, resulting in zero contamination to the environment. Frequent cleaning of hulls can reduce carbon emissions up-to 40%, a clean hull is more efficient causing less drag.

HOW IT WORKS (Hydro Clean System)
The owner sails the boat in between the beams after the basin gate has been lowered. The boat is then stabilized in a central position between the beams. The boat owner can choose to sit in the boat or go ashore during the cleaning process. The cleaning starts, and when the rotating brushes come into contact with the hull, the resistance ensures that they are pushed downwards and formed into the natural shape of the hull. The brushes move along the boat all the way to the stern, clearing the boat of marine fouling as they go. With the touch of a button, the cleaner changes direction and the brushes move in the opposite direction until they reach the starting position. In this way, the boat is cleaned twice from two different directions. For a 10-meter boat the whole process takes about 20 minutes.

THE RIGHT WAY TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR BOAT
Hydro Cleans largest fixed hull cleaner can handle motorboats and sailboats of up to 16 metres long, 5 meters wide and 2.5 meters deep. The entire cleaning process takes about 20 minutes and the cleaner washes the bottom of the boat twice in different directions during that time.

CLEANING (When and how often?)
To optimize boat performance, hull cleaning is desirable as soon as fouling accrues, normally every 4-12 weeks. Factors that impact on cleaning frequency. include:
• Geographical location
• Regional variations
• Water temperature
• Water salinity
• Frequency and duration of boat usage
• Boat speed
For best results regular cleaning is recommended. This will prevent marine fouling building up. However, Hydro Clean Hull Wash will remove even resistant fouling such as adult barnacles.

METHOD (Is it Effective?)
For the best results throughout the boating season, we recommend regular use so that the marine fouling never has time to become a real fouling hazard. If you don’t manage to clean your boat regularly, frequent use of our cleaner aids in the removal or stubborn adult barnacles.
