Product catalog summary

Introduction
Sonihull ECO offers advanced anti-fouling solutions for yachts, ranging from family cruising yachts to large motorboats. It protects various surfaces from bio-fouling without the use of biocides or microplastics, ensuring an environmentally friendly approach.

Key Features

Effective bio-fouling control without environmental toxins.
Low power consumption and easy installation.
Reduces drag and maintenance, leading to lower fuel costs and extended service intervals.
Microbial control to suppress diesel bugs and keep potable water fresh.
Programmable and integratable with remote control capabilities.

How It Works
Sonihull systems use ultrasonic energy to create pressure cycles on surfaces, disrupting algae growth and preventing larger organisms from settling. This technology, adapted from industries like food and hydroponics, is now applied to marine environments to reduce drag and fuel consumption.

Applications and Benefits

Protects hulls, propellers, and internal systems like pipework and tanks.
Reduces bio-fouling, which can increase fuel consumption by up to 30%.
Complies with tightening environmental legislation against metallic biocides.

Products and Accessories

Keel Cooler Adaptor: Ensures strong contact with keel cooler pipe fittings.
Pipe Adaptor: Fits various pipework to prevent clogging.
Stern Drive & IPS Adaptor: Reduces fouling on hard-to-reach surfaces.
Aluminium Mounting Ring: Suitable for larger aluminium structures.

Conclusion
Since 2006, over 40,000 Sonihull systems have been installed globally, establishing Sonihull as a leader in ultrasonic anti-fouling technology.

Background Bio-fouling on your hull and propellers can increase fuel consumption by up to 30% and, in raw water pipes, biofouling will block cooling systems and cause premature equipment failure. For decades, ultrasound has been used in the food, brewing and hydroponic farming industries to prevent algal blooms and to keep water-handling equipment clean and free from blockages. Environmental legislation covering the use of poisonous metallic biocides in anti-fouling systems is tightening and marine-based industries are looking for more effective means of preventing unwanted marine growth on their...

HULL & KEEL COOLER Before Sonihull ECO Accessories ALUMINIUM MOUNTING RING - These marine-grade weldable aluminium mounting rings are ideal for larger aluminium hulls, jet drives, sea chests or other aluminium structures. The rings can be fitted as part of the standard build where Sonihull ECO systems are offered as a buyer option. STERN DRIVE & IPS ADAPTOR - This bolt-on device allows ultrasonic transmission into surfaces that are hard to reach, like IPS and stern drives. Results show an impressive average of 80% reduction in fouling on stern drives using Sonihull ECO via a stern drive adaptor....
