Innovation is the better way to real-world solutions from ElectroSea

ElectroSea, the Minnesota, US-based marine technology company, was founded on such innovation and used it as the cornerstone for growth to become the largest provider of automated biofouling prevention and seawater management systems for boats and yachts on the water today.

Founded in 2016 by Dr. Louis Cosentino and his son Daniel, when the elder developed a better way to deal with biofouling for his own sportfisher, ElectroSea’s experienced staff of boaters have reimagined and reinvented how these systems operate and use their history of innovation to deliver unparalleled reliability.

No stranger to innovation, Dr. Cosentino holds more than 100 US and 350 foreign patents in medical technologies including liquid chemical sterilants, hollow fiber filtration, and remote monitoring systems and used that experience to approach biofouling as an engineering challenge, not on a maintenance issue.

From its virtually maintenance-free ElectroStrainer - the only all-in-one system that keeps marine growth at bay - to the SeaStrong Silver Bullet RDP seawater pump that was designed using data from millions of hours in demanding real-world conditions; and even the DryGenie purpose-built marine dehumidifier product line, ElectroSea innovates solutions for boaters by boaters.

Technological innovation often leads to benefits beyond those of the products to environmental and even economic ones. ElectroStrainer delivers both using a series of electrified titanium plates, coated with a rare earth metal oxide catalyst to produce continuous, low-level electrochlorination which is both a highly effective and environmentally safe method of preventing marine growth.

Because the chlorinated seawater decays rapidly—with two-thirds breaking down back into salt and water within about one minute—the discharge from the boat leaves no lasting chemical footprint and poses no harm to marine ecosystems.

True innovation usually pays for itself. When a boater spends less time in the engine room checking the sea strainer, monitoring water flow or descaling seawater lines, there is a financial windfall in both money and time. Fewer hours maintaining the boat leads to more hours running the boat. Fewer dollars for maintenance mean more dollars for fuel.

Similarly, the SeaStrong pump series uses patent-pending seal-less magnetic-drive technology incorporating proprietary materials that generate less heat and dissipates it more efficiently. Features like a 316L stainless steel reinforced inlet ring molded into the pump head; the pump head itself, engineered using Computational Fluid Dynamics to prevent marine growth; and a composite impeller that won’t corrode or wear like brass, providing a long-lasting source of high flow water to cool onboard appliances, offer benefits beyond those innovations.

Running a sea pump dry can cause failure quickly – in as little as three minutes for traditional magnetic-drive pumps. Marine AC units that rely on seawater for heat exchange will shut down automatically in low water flow conditions, but that can take as long as 15 minutes, causing cumulative damage that leads to premature pump failure.

Because of advanced innovations, SeaStrong Silver Bullet RDP offers extreme Run-Dry Protection that can withstand running dry well beyond the normal shut-down cycle of most onboard air conditioning systems.

So confident is ElectroSea in the SeaStrong Silver Bullet RDP that it’s backed by a 2-year parts and labor warranty – another innovation among marine pump manufacturers.

ElectroSea works with the biggest names in boating and yachting, offering client-driven solutions for OEMs and dealers as standard or standard option equipment for an armada of different vessels.

Builders, brokers and boaters alike look for reliable, robust innovations to resolve everyday boating problems; innovations that offer less maintenance and the corresponding savings and when it comes to seawater management systems, boaters look to ElectroSea for a better way.
