Keep salt corrosion out of your cooling systems: Salt-X it!
We all know that salt left unchecked in our cooling galleries will eventually reek havoc.
The solution is to remove the salt build-up, but how? The Americans have had the solution since 1986!
Salt-X, a unique, non-toxic, environmentally safe compound that when pumped into the raw water cooling galleries of a marine engine will de-activate, dissolve and remove the salt build-up. This will reduce expensive repairs caused by corrosion; the engine will operate at the correct temperature, meaning less long-term wear.
To run Salt-X through an outboard the most cost effective method is to use the brass auto-mix unit available from Salt-X. Fit to your muffs or run through the back flush fitting on most new outboards. Adding the Salt-X at the end of the flushing cycle will allow the solution to remain in the galleries to effectively remove salt build-up and prevent further corrosion.
The most attractive feature of Salt-X is the cost. To flush outboards under 90hp the cost is as little as $1.20 per treatment, and for larger outboards about $2.20 per application. To get the best value from Salt-X you only need flush periodically. Should you be running your boat for the weekend, flush on Sunday prior to putting your boat away. For commercial operators and people that use their boats more frequently, simply flush once a week to remove salt build-up and stop corrosion.
Salt-X is very effective for heat exchange units. Salt-X is that effective, it can be added to salt water to stop salt build-up and rust, just think about that for a minute.
Salt-X will not re-act with rubber, gaskets or other non-metal components in your cooling system and being a non-petroleum product it is safe to use in marinas and on the water.
Salt-X Concentrate is available in 1lt, 4lt and 10lt sizes.
TESTIMONIAL
Scott Powyer - Wellington NSW
I took my Quintrex Hornet 435 to the Victoria River in the N.T. for a 12 day fishing trip. The conditions were extremely harsh in very dirty tidal water. My motor leg was white from the salt build up. With 40 deg heat, the salt dried on each day leaving a thicker coating on the motor, boat and trailer. On returning the lot was left in the shed for 2 months without washing.
The damage to the boat was so bad that I considered using a panel beater. I'd tried everything including car polish, but it wouldn't remove the build up around the weld joints.
I read an article in Club Marine magazine and decided to try the Salt-X products. To see the boat now you'd swear I spent 3 days polishing it! The motor looks brand new, the galvanised trailer is great, I'm wrapped. SaltBuster is fantastic stuff. I used the Auto Mix unit to flush out the motor and it made it so much easier. I wished I'd taken a before and after photo. I won't go anywhere without Salt-X and SaltBuster again. I can't praise it highly enough.
