To Whom It May Concern

Electronic Rust Protection

Approximately four years ago, we were approached by Couplertec to trial a product that claimed to electronically inhibit rust and protect the vehicle from rusting even in extreme working environments. We agreed to try your product and targeted our beach patrol vehicles.

There was another brand of rust inhibitor, which was also fitted at approximately the same time to another of our vehicles. The vehicles were then monitored for corrosion at service intervals. These vehicles work in extreme conditions, constant exposure to salt water, sand, wind and any part of the vehicle with metal exposed would start to rust very quickly.

After a period of six months it started to become apparent that there was a difference between the vehicles. The vehicle that was not fitted with the Couplertec system was showing signs of rust staining at various points around the vehicle.

At the point of sale these vehicles were quite different in appearance, the vehicle fitted with the Couplertec System required minor rust repair, and the other vehicle required extensive rust repair prior to sale.

The replacement vehicles were both fitted with Couplertec Systems. These vehicles were also monitored through their service life and required minor body rust repair at point of sale. At several points through their service life, these vehicles required braking components, discs, caliper overhauls, drums, linings & backing plates, hand brake cables & adjustors etc.

Overall the Couplertec system has extended the useable life of our beach vehicles and lowered the body repair costs and with further development, I expect the mechanical repair costs to decrease. The testing has provided enough proof to prompt us to purchase these units for all of our beach/surf patrol vehicles, tractors and beach cleaning implements.

Yours faithfully
