What product do I use? • For ALL seawater applications, Barnacle Buster™ is the only choice for safe, fast, and consistent results. • Also available in a concentrated form, one gallon of Buster Concentrate™ makes five gallons of Barnacle Buster™ How Much Barnacle Buster™ do I need? • First, measure the lengths and diameters of all hoses and piping associated with the raw water cooling system. • Next, cross reference them with the pipe gallonage chart (see separate sheet). • Finally, add up all your finding. Remember to add enough for your flushing equipment. As a guide, the adjacent chart reflects the most common requirements. Cleaning Options: There are two methods to choose from when cleaning your seawater system. u OPEN-LOOP RECIRCULATION: This is the quickest and most preferred method. It requires recirculation of the product and the aid of a flushing system or system pump. u IMMERSION: This is the simplest method of cleaning but also the longest. It involves filling the entire system and allowing it to work overnight. TRAC recommends open-loop flushing for systems with large amounts of growth . When to use Barnacle Buster™? • As a general rule of thumb, flushing your air conditioning system once a year is a good preventative maintenance measure. This is especially important on systems that operate in warm seawater. • Monitoring your air conditioning system’s amperage draw is an excellent way to determine system efficiency. As growth forms inside the condenser coil, heat transfer will be greatly decreased causing efficiency to drop. This will cause the compressor to work much harder thus increasing amperage draw. Flushing before the problem gets worse could save you a world of headaches! • The easiest way to monitor you’re A/C’s seawater system is to keep a good eye on the seawater discharge stream. Overtime, as growth forms you will notice a change in the flow of seawater. This is a great indication that flushing is needed.

Air Condition Systems Small boat, self-contained systems Self-contained Air Conditioning condenser cleaning instructions. Recovery Open Loop Recirculation Method: Make certain to secure the air conditioning system by turning off the supply power breaker and CLOSING ALL SEA VALVES. • First, find the best locations to inject and recover the Barnacle Buster™. One of the biggest advantages of using any of TRAC’s products is the ability to not only include the condenser coil, but all the adjoining pipe and hose work as well. With this in mind, try to choose an injection point as close to the...
