Testimonials on E.P.R.S. Systems 

29th July 1999. To whom it may concern.

I have been an ocean beach fisherman (net hauling from the surf) for over thirty years and currently fish the ocean beaches in Northern New South Wales and Southern Queensland approximately 250 days a year.

As a crew leader, my vehicle is used for all the "dirty work", i.e. it is often actually IN the surf and is regularly "hit' (washed over) by bigger waves. Additionally I carry brine tanks and salt and raw fish in the back all the time.

My Toyota probably gets a worse hiding than any other vehicle, but to me it is strictly a work horse.  That's what it is for, and that is how I use it.

My current vehicle is now more than two years old and in just as good condition as when I fitted the ERPS unit when it was five months old. Prior to that I had another brand of Electronic System fitted but it just didn't seem to cope. Spray on chemicals have never helped much in my line of work.

When I approached the people at ERPS they explained that there was far more to preventing rust than just screwing on a gadget or spraying chemicals all over the vehicle.

I have had three upgraded ERPS systems fitted since November 1997 and each seems better than the one before. I have been to the ERPS factory numerous times and have seen how they keep working to improve the product. I reckon the latest system is near perfect.I have been approached by the importers of an American Electronic system who tried to tell me that ERPS doesn't work. That's bloody rubbish! I know what I see and I know that in all the years I've been fishing I have never seen anything that prevents rust and general deterioration like the ERPS Electronic System. I have no idea how it works and I couldn't care less - I just know it saves me a fortune in maintenance - especially the brakes and for the first time ever I'm going to get a decent trade in on the vehicle. Last time I tried to trade a two year old vehicle I got hunted out of the dealers. Although the others in my crew were very sceptical when I went for the ERPS system, they have now fitted them to their vehicles except one. His 4WD is two years old and almost worthless now.

I can only say this. ERPS systems work like magic. I reckon if it can keep my vehicle in good condition, it would keep most others like new.

I always try to buy Australian and ERPS is all Australian. Not only that, but the ERPS systems are pretty cheap when you can see how much they can save over a few years. The other thing is that you can tell they know what they are talking about, and they explain why systems must be adapted for certain conditions on different vehicles.

Professional Fisherman

We started with only one rust proofing unit on our work ute in 1988. We were so amazed with the results that we decided to try it once again. This time we installed a unit on one of our 8 tonne trucks, that was particularly bad with body rust, that had been caused by the cartage of fertiliser. Once again the results were outstanding. Because maintenance has always been our top priority, we have spent a considerable amount of money every year, just on sand blasting and repainting each vehicle. The investment in these rust proofing units will save us a great deal of money. We have now fitted all of our vehicles , including, fertiliser boxes , tractors and all of our trucks. Because our business involves handling fertiliser every day, we believe that we have put the rust proofing units through an extremely tough test. However, long term, this is going to be the best investment in vehicle maintenance that we could make.

 Some Facts, Fictions, and
Questions Answered!

First 
Electronic Rust Prevention is not new! Science has known for more than 70 years that the appropriate electrical charge introduced and maintained onto a metal structure will prevent or reduce corrosion. The principle has been used with some success for years to slow down corrosion in ships, bridges, underground pipelines, etc. Commonly known as "Cathodic", it requires an "aqueous phase", i.e. water or moist soil etc. to carry the electric current. The Cathodic systems have never been effective on "free air structures" like motor vehicles, buildings, etc. because of lack of "aqueous phase".

 
Second
Of the six or so electronic systems available in Australia at least three are Cathodic. Two others have lights which work but that's about all that does work. One system draws so much power from the battery that it must be switched off with the engine - rendering it ineffective.

E.R.P.S. is not Cathodic 
It  uses a method discovered in 1985 and known as Capacitive Coupling. It is, in many ways, far more simple than the Cathodic system and uses less energy (battery power) to far better effect. Capacitive Coupling requires no moisture. For the technically minded, the E.R.P.S. system actually charges the Coupler so as to be the positive side of a Capacitor, whilst the structure (or vehicle) is the negative side, and the high concentrations of electrons cause the whole surface to become covered by a layer of electrons that are held static by the dialectic (usually the paint). The layer of electrons prevents corrosion by lowering the metals voltage potential, which means the metal becomes less reactive and therefore less likely to corrode. Unlike cathodic protection, the capacitive coupling system is almost completely static and therefore no significant currents are required to prevent corrosion.

Things to Remember
Just because it is Electronic does not mean it is the same as E.R.P.S. Corrosion/rust is a natural chemical reaction. Put simply, electrons escape from unprotected metal, combine with atmospheric molecules and 'rust' begins.

• The E.R.P.S. Unit constantly replaces these electrons preventing or limiting corrosion.
• E.R.P.S. prevents or slows paint oxidation, keeps paint shiny and helps retard corrosion. E.R.P.S. works on all metal surfaces, including brakes, radiators and exhaust systems, etc. E.R.P.S. when correctly applied, can stop or slow the spread of existing rust, even if very advanced.
• E.R.P.S. goes a long way towards preventing electrolysis caused by dissimilar metals E.R.P.S. is proven to reduce maintenance costs, prevent rust, improve trade-in values and prolong vehicle life.
• E.R.P.S. uses very little power and being a negative charge, won't interfere with car computers, radios, etc.
• E.R.P.S. is transferable if you sell your existing car. It can be removed and replaced on your new car.
• E.R.P.S. an all Australian Co. manufacturing quality products, from Australian made or sourced components.
• E.R.P.S. guarantee everything we say and do - and we guarantee we know what we are talking about.
• E.R.P.S. in the rare case of product failure, replaces the unit immediately
  - NO COST - NO ARGUMENT
• E.R.P.S. advises you to ask questions about other systems. Is it Capacitive Coupling? What is the price?

How many couplers will be fitted? Where is it made? What Warranty applies? Is the Warranty under-written? Is there Factory back up? What happens if the Unit itself fails? How much power does it draw?
E.R.P.S because of technical know how and fair trading practices, have been made agents for other advanced anti-corrosion products by other Australian Companies. We are not interested in just "fixing a gadget" to your car, taking your money and forgetting you. We are happy to consult and suggest the correct system or solution to your rust problem.

Summing Up
The newer the vehicle and/or the better the coating, the cheaper and easier it is to protect with E.R.P.S. Don't be misled about the "benefits" of smelly chemical spray-ons which offer only short term limited protection. E.R.P.S. is much more effective and will not scratch, wear off or have to be reapplied.

Prices start from $745.00 fitted.

Other Applications
Include boat trailers, air conditioners, various metal structures such as Farm Sheds, Industrial and Agricultural Machinery.
