Model Black, Red, Blue, Clearing Brush, Barnacle Rollers

Interchangeable cleaning elements for the ITCH robot, selected by fouling level from light biofilm to barnacles.

Description

ITCH uses interchangeable cleaning elements chosen according to the fouling condition of the hull. Each brush type has been tested by a third-party laboratory and shown to cause negligible coating wear.

Key features

Black Brushes: light slime/biofilm (about year 1–3), routine maintenance
Red Brushes: heavier slime, often the first clean on 2–4-year-old coatings
Blue Brushes: heavy slime/weed on uncleaned hulls
Clearing Brush: soft advanced fouling such as green grass, paired with a Black Brush in front
Barnacle Rollers: barnacles and calcareous growth, followed by Blue Brushes to clear organics
