Onboard biofoul protection

The company, that is known for its ClearLine antifouling system, said that ElectroStrainer ensures continual optimal flow rates so the A/C continues to blow cold without the need for descaling.

”ElectroStrainer is an innovative product that significantly decreases time spent in the engine room checking and cleaning sea strainers,” said Daniel Cosentino, CEO, ElectroSea.

“Boat owners and captains loathe dirty, fouled sea strainers that require constant maintenance. ElectroStrainer prevents biofouling right in its integrated strainer basket. In addition, the system provides real-time seawater flow data and alerts you when it’s time to check ElectroStrainer’s basket.”

All-in-one

ElectroStrainer combines three components: An innovative biofouling prevention device, a hydrodynamic sea strainer and a smart flow monitoring system into one package.

The technology’s smart “Strainer Alert” technology uses ElectroSea’s ClearVis flow sensor and control system and displays a message if debris, grass, or seaweed is in its straining basket.

This does away with the need for peering through a dirty site glass or opening the sea strainer to check for blockages. Seawater flow rate is also provided in gallons or litres per minute on the display. 

ElectroStrainer can be installed in newbuild or refit on existing boats. It is also a drop-in replacement for old-style sea strainers and can be installed in just a few hours while the boat is in the water.

The technology joins ElectroSea’s family of innovative seawater management products including the ClearLine System and SeaStrong Pumps, the latter of which was introduced in February 2022.
