Our sea water system flushes are performed using the benchmark product in marine growth removal, Barnacle Buster.

  • Engine Overheating?
  • A/C Not Cooling?
  • Clogged Pipes?
Barnacle Buster® is a safe, non-toxic and biodegradable marine growth remover specifically formulated to meet an industry wide need for fast, safe, cost effective alternatives to mechanical cleaning of seawater cooled equipment. With minimal dismantling required, Barnacle Buster® can be safely re-circulated through seawater cooling systems, dissolving barnacles, zebra mussels, calcium, rust, lime & all other mineral deposits. Most applications can be completed within 4 hours!

When Should I flush My Engine?

As a general rule of thumb, flushing your engine once a year is a good preventative maintenance measure. This is especially important on engines with flexible rubber impellers. Marine growth is the most common cause of impeller failure. Monitoring your engines temperature is crucial. A consistent temperature increase of 5-10 degrees could mean a problem is starting to form within your cooling system. Flushing before the problem gets worse could save you a world of headaches. On most engines, seawater discharged from the engine is used to cool the exhaust gases exiting the engine. If this water flow is reduced, steam (or white smoke) will begin to exit from the exhaust. One reason for this could be a clogged heat exchanger or after cooler. Flushing the engine may prove to be an inexpensive troubleshooting technique for a boat owner.

Heads Leaving Nasty Odors, Not Flushing, Backing Up?

Using Trac's Sew Clean and a vacuum based flushing system instead of a pressurized flushing system commonly used, we can safely flush an entire black water system with up to 30 heads.

For this application each head needs to be removed so that they can be connected via hoses to a central manifold system. Each manifold is then linked to other manifolds via larger hoses and brought back to our vacuum flushing system’s tank, we then close the flushing loop by making a connection at the vacuum pumps. This process allows us to flush the entire system, including all the risers and main trunk lines.

Depending on the vessel size and amounts of heads, this application is performed over a 4 to 5 days’ time period

“ Barnacle Buster cleans the corrosion out of vital marine engine cooling systems and marine ac units. You will be amazed how much a coolant soak or ac lines flush will come out after

“ Just cleaned eight salt water heat exchangers off yanmar diesels. This product is the real deal! Tried other products which didn’t work on breaking down scaling and salt deposits. After soaking in Barnacle

“ It does work! It helps to remove barnacle and corrosion build up. But if you have thick rust layer in cooling system I suggest to use evaparust coolant rust remover and let it
