There are many applications for the Dock Disk, however, it was primarily designed to protect your boat and slip from the build up of Quagga and Zebra mussels.
The effective radius is anywhere from 7 to 8 feet. For example, a 40′ slip would require a minimum of 6 disks for total boat and slip protection.
The Dock Disk is very safe and simple to use. The toughest part of the process is cleaning the mussel build up off of what you want to protect. With continued use of the Dock Disks, this will be your only time to scrape clean the area to be protected. The continued protection is carried out by simply changing out the disks every six months.
Follow the 3 step process:
-
Thoroughly clean the affected area
-
Deploy the Dock Disk
-
Replace every 6 months
Hanging Instructions
1) Pull the Dock Disk assembly from the plastic shipping bag
2) Insert the golf balls into the mesh bag
3) Insert the Dock Disk into the mesh bag
4) Pull draw strings in center of mesh bag and connect carabiner
5) Tying Off, determine desired length of cord and tie a loop at each end. Connect to carabiner attached to mesh bag and second carabiner

5) Attach to the dock using eye screw or tie off on boat to bumpers or boat rails.
Attach eye bolt to surface above water, connect carabiner and cord

The Dock Disk is designed to be 3 1/2 feet to 4 feet below the surface of the water. The hanging system allows the Dock Disk to be secured above the surface while the weight bag puts just enough weight in place to hold the disk below the surface allowing it to gently move with the flow of water. This assures the best possible coverage from the disk.
Note:
If the Dock Disk system is physically attached to the boat, pull them out of the water before trolling or motoring away.
Caution: Traveling at high speeds could damage the Dock Disk and/or its hanging system, resulting in possible loss or effectiveness of the product.
When at anchor simply place the Disk in the water to provide protection against Zebra and Quagga mussels.
*store Dock Disks in a cool dark environment until ready to deploy*
*NOTE* This is a foam based product and WILL take some time to saturate and sink
- You may want to gently, without squeezing, hold the disk underwater to help begin the saturation process
- Or simply place the disk in the bag it came in by itself, add 8 oz of water, seal the bag and let it saturate – about 2 hours. Once saturated, take it out of the bag and connect it to the hanging system – pour any remaining water out around where the disk is placed

Not Just For The Dock
The technology also has the ability to be customized for many applications including water intake systems both large and small.
In the above picture, the intake openings of the pump are clean and free from mussels
Because there are many different applications, please contact us to talk about how we can customize a solution for your needs.
