I believe that the UA technology is effective in large, high cost application.
The ones marketed towards recreational boats have to be priced for the market and that's what makes me skeptical about them.
Large commercial ultrasonic antifouling systems have been utilized in a wide range of installations for a long time and have experienced excellent results:
Pool cleaning (to reduce chemicals necessary to prevent algae blooms)
Ship hull protection (to prevent fouling, increasing speed and reducing fuel costs)
Heat exchanger protection (to extend operational cycles between cleaning)
Seachest / water intakes (to prevent blockages by marine growth)
Fuel tank protection (to stop algae growth and prevent diesel contamination)
Protection of offshore structures (such as wind farms, oil & gas installations etc.)
HVAC Cooling Towers to reduce or eliminate chemical dosing treatment
