Question 1

What is Marisonia?

Accepted Answer

Marisonia is a subscription-based ultrasonic antifouling protection system developed specifically for boat owners. Unlike toxic paints, it prevents algae and marine life from attaching to the hull without harming the marine ecosystem, thus improving your boat’s performance, saving fuel, and reducing cleaning costs. Installation, monitoring, and technical support are provided by Marisonia teams throughout the subscription period.

Question 2

What is antifouling?

Accepted Answer

Antifouling is the method used to prevent the accumulation of marine organisms on submerged boat surfaces. Traditional methods using toxic paints harm the marine environment. Marisonia uses a non-toxic ultrasonic system to protect your boat in an eco-friendly and sustainable way through a subscription model.

Question 3

Why is antifouling so important?

Accepted Answer

Antifouling significantly reduces boat maintenance costs and fuel consumption by preventing biological fouling that causes drag. It also decreases the need for frequent hull cleaning, saving both time and labor.

Question 4

How does the Marisonia Subscription System work?

Accepted Answer

The Marisonia system is offered as a subscription service tailored to boat owners. First, you choose the subscription plan that suits your boat type. Then, our expert team installs the ultrasonic transducers in the bilge area for optimal performance. Once installed, the system works continuously without the need for user intervention. Throughout your subscription, your hull stays clean, preventing the attachment of barnacles, algae, and other marine life.

Question 5

How much electricity/power does the Marisonia ultrasonic antifouling system consume?

Accepted Answer

The system is designed to be environmentally friendly, including its energy usage. It consumes approximately 6W on average.

Question 6

Does Marisonia disturb fish and/or marine mammals?

Accepted Answer

No, the ultrasonic waves emitted by Marisonia cannot be heard by fish or marine mammals and do not disturb them. These waves are less intense than those used in fish finders or sonar systems. Unlike toxic paints, Marisonia releases no chemicals, posing no harm to marine life — making it a truly eco-conscious solution for keeping your boat clean.

Question 7

What is ultrasonic antifouling technology?

Accepted Answer

Ultrasonic antifouling technology prevents marine organisms such as algae, barnacles, and mussels from settling on the underwater surfaces of boats and ships. It operates by emitting low-frequency ultrasonic waves that generate micro-vibrations on the hull surface, discouraging these organisms from attaching and growing.

Question 8

Does ultrasonic antifouling work in freshwater environments?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Marisonia is also effective in freshwater environments.

Question 9

What maintenance is required for ultrasonic antifouling systems?

Accepted Answer

Marisonia operates on a 'set-and-forget' principle and typically requires no regular maintenance under normal conditions.

Question 10

Should the hull be clean before installing Marisonia?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Marisonia does not remove existing fouling but prevents new growth. It should be installed on a clean hull. Our expert team will inspect your boat and, if necessary, recommend or perform cleaning prior to installation.
