RE: How do you keep your Air Cond system growth free

Until a couple of years ago I skippered a 54 Bertram based in Barbados. The saloon a/c ran 24/7 which meant that seawater was passing through all four a/c's 24/7 as they were supplied by a common pump. I cleaned the raw-water strainer once a week, and flushed the whole system with RydLyme once a year. The yearly flush involved temporary hoses and a 5 gallon bucket to allow recirculation.
