Step 3 Puramyst (Internal Sterilisation Treatment)

Puramyst – a non-toxic cloud which eradicates 99.9999% of all airborne pathogens and surface viruses on contact. Invisible dangers can lead to illness of crew and guests as airborne pathogens and surface viruses including MRSA, Salmonella, Legionella and Norovirus, can cause huge disruption at sea.

• Expertly applied with specialist sprayers that form a fine mist cloud
• No need to cover any surfaces, it can be applied to any hard and soft furnishings without trace
• The specially formulated biocide does not contain Ozone or any bleaching product such as Hydrogen Peroxide
• It is completely safe to use in food preparation environments.
• Helps eradicate the risk of airborne pathogens and surface viruses
• Keeps the vessel protected against airborne and surface bacteria

Step 4 Flushing of grey water lines

Our skilled team work effectively around the crew with minimal disruption as their unique flushing system cleans and sanitises sinks and shower drains. Following the removal and cleaning of the P-Traps they then flush the inside walls of the pipework; the jetting system is specially designed for yacht pipework and allows them to reach greater distances to clean away any build-up or blockages. It simultaneously applies a biocide which helps keep the pipework clean and odour free for longer.

Over the years, the Marinevac portfolio has grown in line with client needs and they now offer many additional services including, EVAC sanitary equipment and spare parts and Loro-X gravity and vacuum pipe work.
