your thoughts about E.R.P.S

Tim, we have had a system fitted to our vehicle for the last 5 years ,spend a minimum of a month per year on the beach ,broken into 3/4 trips ,,not one speck of rust to be found ,no other rust prevention methods used ,only a good fresh water rinse at end of trip ,system works....on previous vehicle used spray on system ,professionaly applied, rust within 12 months,,,erps money well spent,,,,Axel

Tim, i was very sceptical about any form of electronic rust protection and have been looking around for a few years at the various systems and like to see proof before shelling out any hard earned dollars, i've used spray on protection for years until i seen the E.R.P.S or Counteract, a mate of mine has had an E.R.P.S system for about three years now, it had a small amount of rust prior to fitting it, the rust spots turned black and hasn't gone any further in that time, another mate had about the same amout of rust in his car, but in the same time his rust has bubbled right out, i have been told that the counteract system uses about 100mW of power @ 12 volts where as the E.R.P.S uses about 22mW @ 12 volts ( less power than your digital clock ), i bought an E.R.P.S at the latest 4WD show in Brisbane for $390.00 ( not fitted ) which included a beach pack and 8 couplers, the Counteract was going to cost almost $800.00 ( not fitted ), one thing to remember though, is that it won,t protect any metal parts that are insulated eg, any screws or chrome that is held in by plastic, hope this helps with your decision, cheers, Dave.

Dr Karl was talking about the cathodic system. It is designed for underwater use (bridges, pipes, etc) and works well under water.

The RODE (USA made) and ERPS (Aus made) use a capacitive coupling system that is a completely different concept to the cathodic systems.

I bought an ERPS coz the local fertilizer company recommended it, after using it on their trucks. I got it when my vehicle was 4 years old and I have no idea if it's worked or not yet, but hopefully when my GQ Patrol is a vintage car it'll be rust free.

I have not noticed any difference when using my Codan 9323 HF since having the ERPS installed.
