Ideal for cleaning:

Boat hulls and bottoms
Bow thrusters
Water makers
There are two methods for cleaning your seawater systems
1. Open-loop circulation This is the quickest and most preferred method. It requires the recirculation of the product and the aid of a flushing system or system pump.
2. Immersion This is the simplest method of cleaning but also the longest. It involves filling the entire system and allowing it to work overnight.
How much MGR do I need?
1. First, measure the lengths and diameters of all hoses and piping associated with the raw water cooling system.
2. Next, cross reference your engine size with the chart below.
3. Finally, add up all your measurements. Remember to add enough for your flushing equipment.
4. Make MGR Solution. Dilution rate is 1:4 (1 part of MGR in 4 parts of water). This dilution must be performed prior to all applications.

1. First, find the best locations to inject and recover your MGR solution. Try to choose an injection point as close the seawater sea valve (or seacock) as possible, thus including as much of the system as possible.
2. Now, with both your injection and recover points ready, hook up your flushing gear. Connect the discharge from your flushing unit to the inlet point on the engine. Then connect the recovery point to the return hose.
3. Before starting, make certain there are no other systems connected to your raw water-cooling system.
4. Now you are ready to recirculate and clean your engine! We recommend that first you do a test-flush with water to make certain you have no leaks. If everything looks good, replace the water with your predetermined amount of MGR. Recirculate for at least 2 to 3 hours. If there is an excessive amount of buildup recirculate for 3 to 6 hours.
5. When flushing is complete, rinse the system with freshwater to remove any loose debris or leftover MGR. Reassemble the system and run the engine to ensure there are no leaks.
