The Problem


ANS on Boats Zebra Mussel ANS Removal
Aquatic Nuisance Species (ANS) are spreading quickly across America to non-infested waterways.

ANS investations are very expensive. As one example, the Idaho Dept of Agriculture estimates a $94M annual economic impact to the State of Idaho from Zebra and Quagga Mussels alone.

Trailored watercraft have been identified as a primary vector of ANS transport.

Prefix is committed to Education and Prevention methods for eliminating the spread of ANS to non-infested waters via trailored watercraft.

Prefix C.L.E.A.N. Boat Wash System

The PREFIX CLEAN Boat Wash System ranges from self-contained transportable units to full scale upstream channel locks with integrated washing stage.

Transportable Unit
  • Wash platform with an incorporated water-collecting basin.
  • Clean water tanks with inline water heating feed outboard spray towers and platform spray nozzles.
  • Spring loaded towers allow for storage and collapse if the tow vehicle or trailer should come into contact with the tower during its drive through use.
  • The platform incorporates the fresh water and recovery tanks, capturing the used water and the contaminants that are cleaned off of the watercraft hull and trailer.
  • Easy access pump ports are placed on the platform allowing for the pumping, draining and flushing of the recovery tanks.
  • The platform exterior top surface incorporates a design shape that aids in the centering of the tow vehicle during its drive through.
  • All operating directions are appropriately placed on the wash towers and safety reflectors are adequately placed around, and on the PREFIX CLEAN Wash system.
  • The system is appropriately painted and utilizes weather resistant construction materials and design methodology.
  • All electronics and wiring are contained on the interior of the wash system within a weather and tamper resistant capsule.
  • The electronic tracking system offers a money free activation, eliminating any concerns of securing money at remote sites during unpopulated times.
  • Swipe cards may be issued by resort owners or regulatory agencies and purchased by watercraft owners.
  • Regulatory agencies can monitor the PREFIX CLEAN Wash system to enforce governing laws.
