Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Climma A/C saltwater plumbing - Using barnacle buster.

Hi Eric,

I dilute the concentrate in 4 gallons of water, close the sea cock, and pour it in the sea chest with the AC cooling pump running. After a gallon or so has been pumped through, I let it sit overnight and then run the AC pump with sea water as usual. I do the same procedure with the Yanmar and Onan. So far my hoses and manifold are all clean as a whistle after doing this twice a year for 10 years. Kent S/V Kristy SM243

My plan was you use the Barnacle buster circulating tank and hook it up to the input of the engine room Manifold, then run a garden hose from the output seacock and back to the circulating bucket. They suggested to use it for 4-6 hours. Did you dilute the barnacle buster and if so what ratio? I will also do so with the engine and genset. I plan on disconnecting the water input to the watermaker while doing this. Fair Winds Eric

I just flush with B.B. and let it sit i the lines over night once a year. So far all lines and manifold are free of any growth or scale. Kent SM 243 Kristy
Has anyone used barnacle buster and a circulating pump on the ac cooling water lines? Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376
