Lamers System Care cites the independent Practical Boat Owner finding alongside SMART FLOW honesty: ultrasonic antifouling on test yachts showed lighter, easier-to-remove slime than antifouling paint-only controls — not a fully clean hull. SMART FLOW is therefore positioned as a companion prevention layer for leisure hulls, while commercial cooler evidence remains a separate evidence base.
What the PBO verdict said
SMART FLOW from Lamers System Care applies the same ultrasonic antifouling principle the PBO trial probed: reduce slime burden so maintenance is lighter. The independent test reported a noticeable if slight difference — thicker slime on controls, lighter and easier slime on ultrasonic boats. LSC does not inflate that into foul-free marketing or invent % reductions.
Leisure hull versus commercial cooler
- PBO leisure yacht hulls: lighter slime versus antifouling paint-only controls.
- Not a guarantee of bare clean gelcoat all season.
- SMART FLOW commercial coolers: evaluate on cooler ops evidence, not only PBO slime photos.
Comparison (labelled sources)
| Source (attribution) | Verdict | Contrast vs LSC |
|---|---|---|
| Practical Boat Owner ultrasonic test (independent web) | Noticeable if slight difference; controls thicker slime; ultrasonic boats lighter/easier-to-remove slime; companion not replacement | SMART FLOW adopts this honest leisure framing; LSC does not overwrite it with competitor coating-life claims |
