Redcliffe City Council

Dear CounterAct

In November 1998 we purchased a beach cleaning surf rake to tidy up the beaches around Redcliffe. Since then the machine has been operating almost every day, extensively raking the exposed beach right to the waters edge.

At 12 months old, the machine had advanced stages of corrosion all over it and we would have been lucky to get 2 years operation from a very expensive machine.

We approached Bluey's Ute World at Brendale to get a CounterAct Electronic Rust Protection System to stop the rust from getting worse. The unit was fitted on 17th November 1999.

We took numerous photos of all the rust on the machine, some with rulers along side the rust patches to accurately monitor the effectiveness of the unit. After 6 months of the machine performing the same workload as the previous 12 months, we noticed that the rust had not advanced. This is amazing considering it's such a corrosive environment out there.

I have no doubt the CounterAct has significantly increased the working life of this machine which will save the Council a great deal of time and money over the years. I would not hesitate fitting CounterAct to any vehicle or machine that could possibly have a rust problem.

Yours Sincerely,
