l How it works The Ultra System control box sends a variety of pulsed ultrasonic signals to the transducer which in turn emits a series of low power, high frequency sound waves which are virtually inaudible to the human ear. They create a wall of moving water molecules over the entire underwater profile of the hull. As a result, algae and barnacles are destroyed. The frequencies used have been scientifically calculated to create the right harmonics that successfully destroy the fouling that all boats will encounter.

l Low power consumption Peaking at just 0.7 amps for the Ultra 10 and 1.1 amps for the Ultra 20 (at 12v DC). The Ultra system is programmed with a low voltage cut off at 11 volts to protect the battery.

l Benefits of a clear hull It is well known that a clear underwater profile improves speed through the water, manoeuvrability and for powerboats, reduces fuel costs.

Fast planing boats will also lift onto the plane more quickly. Costly lift-outs and scrub-offs are reduced dramatically, all of which add to considerable cost savings gained from using Ultrasonic Antifouling.

l Environmentally friendly The Ultra System is harmless to fish and other animals and uses no pollutants, making it the most environmentally friendly method of maintaining a hull clear from growth.

l The Ultra System is the only ultrasonic system to have been independently tested and proven to be highly successful over several years.

The future of antifouling

The Ultra System Series II Suitable for use on all hull materials other than wood, there is an Ultra Series II system specifically designed for your boat.

l Easy to install The Ultra Series II has been specially developed to improve installation, making it easy and effective to fit yourself. We also offer an installation service for those who prefer a professional installation.

The Ultra System Series II transducers are the most efficient available.

No holes are needed through the hull. A pre-threaded fixing ring is bonded to the inside of the hull. The new low profile transducer is then screwed into the mounting ring and connected to the cable from the control box using the watertight connector. The control box can be fitted to any convenient bulkhead and is then linked to the power source.

l The solar charge controller The solar charge controller has been specially designed to control the power between solar panels, battery and the Ultrasonic Antifouling system. This intelligent unit keeps the ships batteries in good health and provides the Ultra system with the required amount of power.

This allows boats on swing or other remote moorings to benefit from an Ultra system.

l Ultra systems for sail boats Sail boat models provide an isolator switching facility, enabling the skipper to power down overnight or while sailing to conserve battery power.

l Ultra systems for powerboats Ulltrasonic protection helps to prevent growth on shafts, propellers, sterndrives and trim tabs.

l Custom systems Ultrasonic Antifouling Ltd provides a custom design service for larger vessels such as superyachts, commercial and military vessels.

We have also supplied a number of superyachts with sea chest protection against fouling.

Ultrasonic Antifouling Ltd – the world-leading manufacturer and developer of ultrasonic antifouling systems introduces

the advanced Ultra Series II

Ultrasonic Antifouling is a revolutionary way to protect your hull from fouling using low power, high frequency sound waves to destroy algae and prevent weed and barnacle growth.

The Ultra System is unique, with advanced reprogrammable digital software, controlling multiple sweeping frequencies which have been carefully designed to discourage or destroy the majority of fouling organisms.

Extensively researched and developed, the Ultra System is used with great success in a wide variety of conditions and vessel types around the world. It is the only system that has a bespoke solar charging system which will also help to maintain the condition of ship’s batteries.

Ultra Series II has been design engineered for easy installation and a high level of protection from fouling.

Spend more time on the water and less time rubbing down and painting – good for the environment, good for you, bad for the algae!

Birchwood 49 Motor Cruiser

Ferretti 830 ‘Cipriana’

Chichester Marina

Cyprus

“We are delighted with the Ultrasonic system that we fitted to our boat over two years ago. It has performed even better than we had hoped! Our boat has remained on her marina berth for over two years without being moved apart from two short cruises. When she was lifted the hull was completely clear, there was only a very slight film which washed off incredibly easily and some weed along the waterline, which under normal circumstances we would have scrubbed off.”

“We have just recently lifted “Cipriana” and I am very impressed with the result compared to what I had on my previous yachts. In previous years we have had to send a diver down to scrub the surface before our 120 mile travel to the lifting dock, since speed would have been cut down by 4 mph, and we would get vibrations due to the growth on the shaft. We had no reduction in speed, and as you can see, there was not much work left for the diver, so we just went straight ahead this year.”

Our Ultrasonic antifouling system is now in successful operation in over 60 countries. Visit our website at www.ultrasonic-antifouling.com to find more testimonials from around the world.

MY Absolutely – Australia “We did a dive on the boat recently and found the hull and metal parts very clear.

In the past we constantly had to clear the trim tabs as antifouling paint just washes off and weed and shell life grew quickly.

This product really works.”
