Ultrasonic Differences
We believe the proven protective power of copper as harnessed and amplified with barnacleRID and is a superior anti-foul solution to any other out there currently. In particular, anti-foul solutions that use ultrasonic emissions pose a number of risky complications to boat owners. These complications are simply eliminated when considering a barnacleRID solution against barnacles/hard shells. See the differences in the following analysis
