Electromic rust protection

As this has been mentioned on another forum...........my reply is the same...

Well its 2015 and I'm really not surprised! We are being conned all the time these days!

Having said that....................

The good old days of making, building something to lasts is gone.............there's no profit in it!

I remember back in the early 80's, my Adidas 3 stripe lasted me 3 years! and thats after heavy abuse from wearing them day in, day out, kicking the footy around for a few hour s a day, running around and then growing out of them. They stopped making them.

My 1991 80 series has a sticker on it, its documented that it has been ERP. I live within a huge stone throw of the sea and the 80 is parked outside of a night time all the time. The gutters on my home are rusted to the point that they need replacing, my 10 year old pergola is made from steel which is powder coated and its rusted.

Yet my 1991 80 Series which has a sticker to prove it has been ERP, still has no rust!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mind boggling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They don't make them like they used too!

No can of worms there....pretty much what people have been saying for 20 yrs....only this time someone in authority has come out and said it !!

Gday
Thats a bit like light bulbs , i'm led to believe they only last 400 hrs. So if you dont go out at night , you have got it made.

I do need some electronic rust protection for my hiclone.

Hmmmm ... designed by Certified Engineers - backed by independent testing - clients include the military, plus major companies involved in salt and minerals mining, and fertiliser production - dozens of testimonials from happy customers ....

CAT electronic anti-corrosion system

So .. why isn't this above crowd being shut down by Fair Trading??

Have they conned the Fair Trading examiners as well??

Cheers, Ron.

Oldtrack's link did not work for me.Try this one.

And it is about time that action was taken against such shysters.

Hi
This is the interesting bit in their blog
[quote]The only scientifically controlled way to test the CATs effectiveness is in a salt fog and humidity chamber. We have therefore invested over $250,000 in our own testing equipment in order to do continuous testing and improvements of the CAT product. We also regularly submit the CAT for independent testing to verify our own results and to ensure impatiality. The most recent testing was conducted in April of 2015 by SGS - the world's leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company. (full test report available on request).[endquote]

Now anyone who has experience with cathodic protection would have a good laugh at THAT

Yes, in a constant heavily mineralized HIGH humidity situation , the surface constantly covered with mineralised water the current will flow across the surface& possibly find bare metal areas
BUT
Such a tests are in no way a replication of actual conditions that most vehicles are used or kept in, & mean absolutely ZERO .
THAT IS THE REAL CON PART!!

That is why those who understand say, yes ,if you let your car out in such conditions it will work. But normal rain water is very low in mineral content & dew would be just as low

The cleaner you keep your car,washed & polished, the less chance it has of doing even a little bit

But if you keep your car in nice& dirty with heavily mineralised soil & plus a wet with highly mineralised water, it will have some affect depending on number of & location of the pads

What can of worms? The link is https://www.finance.nsw.gov.au/about-us

As the topic is clearly electronic rust prevention, presumably the link has been changed.
Anyway, its very simple. Ask the manufacturer for the scientific test results he has independently commissioned.

My guess is that they do not have any scientific test results whatsoever and are relying on anecdotal evidence from commercial beach fishermen..
