Protect Your Seawater Cooling System with ElectroStrainer 

Barnacles, biofilm, algae, and unwanted marine growth in sea strainers and seawater intake lines are a never-ending problem. As soon as you clean your sea strainer or acid descale seawater lines, marine organisms begin growing again. ElectroSea's ElectroStrainer® replaces your existing sea strainer and handles the heavy lifting, offering a simple, practically maintenance-free way to maintain your seawater cooling system. With ElectroStrainer, your sea strainer basket stays clean longer, your seawater lines stay clear, and your air conditioner keeps blowing cool air.
