Thanks, Jalal.
Actually, I did find that thread and the link. The link provides info from the manufacturer's / dealer's / sellers perspective....I was hoping for more first hand consumer experience or a link to some independent reviews (which I can't seem to find).
One of our members (down under) who had the system installed had some favorable comments. I didn't post the question there 'cause I was hoping to hear from our Canadian members on this forum re any experience with the use of such a device in our Canadian winters / climate.
For any others who may be interested in this subject, I found any number of sites which advertise electronic rust prevention / control types of devices. Here are a few samples:
CounterAct Electronic Rust Protection System - Corrosion Control
CAT Electronic Rust Prevention System - Stop Auto Rust with Electronic Rust Protection.
RustStop Electronic rust protection and rust prevention.
Couplertec Electronic Rust Protection System and Service. The best automotive rust protection system available.
Counteract New Zealand Electronic Rust Protection System and Service. The best automotive rust protection system available.
Electronic Rust Proofing / Rust Protection is better than chemical Rust Proofing
Again, while these are informative, they are from the sellers perspective and you know that they're all going to say that theirs is " the greatest invention since sliced bread".
Our Canadian Tire stores here have a unit on sale this week end - it's the "CounterAct" system which uses a process called "capactive coupling". The SUV unit is regular $349 and is on sale for $249.
From the above links it appears that they can be had in the US for less and in Au they seem to cost quite a bit more.....
I guess the question really is - are any of them any good ? do they really work ? which one is best ??
I'm a tad skeptical about a product that has not had any sort of independent review...
Cheers
