The New Spectra Bio-Guard is an easy to install antifouling system designed for Marine Air Conditioning systems. The Spectra Bio-Guard is a powerful tool to assist in keeping pipes, hoses and heat exchangers of your HVAC system free of marine growth and barnacles.
Using a specially formulated metallic alloy, the Bio-Guard leeches small amounts of ions into the seawater cooling system that retards marine growth. No electrical connections or control systems are necessary. The Bio-Guard installs in line into your cooling water supply and starts going to work immediately eliminating and preventing marine growth.
A clear plastic housing makes it easy to know when your Bio-Guard needs replacement. The alloy module takes only minutes to replace with common tools.
Finally, a simple, safe solution to prevent the need for expensive caustic acid washing that shortens the life of your HVAC system.
The Bio-Guard comes in four standard sizes and must be matched properly to your HVAC cooling water system.
The Bio-Guard part numbers correspond to the common sizes of the seawater pumps used in standard marine air-conditioning systems. Larger units or special applications are available.
