Reduce Time Washing Boats, Save Money On Cleaning Products

Published: Tuesday, October 2, 2018

Boat owners spend significant time and money washing their vessels. But nearly all marinas supply “hard” water, which uses more soap, takes longer to clean, and leaves a cloudy finish speckled with water spots.

YachtGuard USA has created a product line that conditions water and delivers a spot-free rinse that drastically reduces the time and money it takes to clean boats.

“We developed this system to reduce the amount of time spent cleaning your boat and to protect your investment,” says Mike Waleski, President of YachtGuard USA and a U.S. Coast Guard licensed captain. “The system is especially great for charter fishing and tour boats that require daily washes, by saving significant time and money.”

Soft water uses 75% less cleaning products, while also extending the life of appliances (coffee pots, water heaters, washing machines), pumps, and plumbing systems by at least 30%.

Quick, Spot-Free Boat Wash

The product line consists of three core components, which are sold separately or in our custom dockbox that fits all components, along with some extra room for storage.

  • YachtGuard Water Conditioner – This compact, high-efficiency water treatment system fits right on the pier or in your boat. It regenerates automatically and also has built-in media to filter dirt and sediment. It also kills any bacteria that can build up in a typical softener.
  • YachtGuard Foam Gun – This creates a rich foam lather, eliminating the need for scrubbing that can damage your boat’s finish and deteriorate wax.
  • YachtGuard Spot-Free Rinse – The deionization unit removes all dissolved solids, which is what leaves spots when water evaporates.
  • YachtGuard Cleaning Products – Coming soon is a full line of affordable cleaning products designed to work with our conditioned water for extreme clean results.

A boater for 35 years, Waleski also owns a residential and industrial water treatment company where he has solved complex water quality issues for 25 years. He combined those two passions to bring the benefits of water treatment to boating through YachtGuard USA.
