Your typical inorganic scale remover cannot be used on dock lights as they destroy the dock light, especially the glass.
Dock Light Before Cleaning
As you can see there is tremendous marine growth on all parts of the dock light.
The owner of the light was looking at replacing the light. We told him to use Seascour to safely clean it.
The owner thought it would be a lot of work.
We showed him how simple and effective using Seascour could be.

We provided the owner of the dock light one gallon of Seascour and a bucket.
We told him to simply submerge the light in Seascour and allow it to soak. That was the procedure.
The owner put the dock light in Seascour in the morning just before he left for work.
Later that evening he realized he had forgotten about the dock light.

He took the dock light out of the bucket, set it on his dock and sent us the picture.
The owner was beyond impressed.

Just before the descaling project was started, a new Tube heat exchanger was put in place.
The sprinkler system was run for 3 days. Seascour was sprayed on the tube bundle, ran down and exited the hull. Here it was directed to a tote. A pump drew Seascour out of the tote and sent it back up to the sprinkler system.
During this flush there was zero labor involved.

A few days later the project was complete, and the old and new tube bundles were inspected.
The new tube bundle is on the left; the original tube bundle is on the right. The client was very appreciative of this new, organic cleaning method and the vessel left dry dock 2 weeks early!

NAVSEA wanted a proof-of-concept trial test with Seascour on a 200-ton condenser that had titanium piping.
Traditional methods for cleaning these condesers is a combination of corrosive acids and mechanical cleaning. This is very time consuming and damages the condensers. Hydrochloric acid is typically used for this flushes gut causes Hydrogen Embrittlement for Titanium and this the wall piping. This can lead to a replacement of the condenser which could cost $1,000,000 dollars and months in port without deploying
Seascour is 100% organic, powerful and safe. Seascour is EPA Safer Choice Program certified for Outdoor Use.
USS MASON condenser before Seascour
Seascour working with an approved contractor hooked up a flushing system that had a pump, hoses, connections, filter and a reservoir. Approximately 62 gallons of Seascour was used.

Seascour was flushed through the condenser system and then pumped out for inspection.
Discharge profile samples were taken and analyzed by an approved DOD laboratory.
The USN was amazed at the cleaning of the condenser, and they calculated that no more than 0.001mils of Titanium had been removed.
