SecureView Eclipx Care and Maintenance

All mesh and sheet security screens act as very large air filters the same as an air conditioner filter. So they do need maintenance. There are three main contaminates that will get trapped within the mesh weave. Causing deterioration to the screen over time;

1. Salt particles
2. Iron ore dust
3. Fungal outbreaks in hot and humid environments

All can be simply removed if you follow this care guide on a regular basis.

Salt and Iron ore dust

As air passes through the screen it will trap contaminates within the mesh. This needs to be washed off regularly. In a salt air environment the moisture will dry out leaving salt particles on the mesh. Rain can wash the screens causing the salt to congregate at the bottom of the screen. Salt is very corrosive and needs to be removed from the screens. Left on the screen will attack the paint protective coating. Causing either white spots or tea staining (surface rust).

The door on the next page is in good shape, but  covered in salt. The salt has formed a bridge between the aluminium and stainless steel. This can cause galvanic corrosion as the two different metals are now in contact with each other. This will cause corrosion like a boat anode. Iron ore dust is also corrosive.

Cleaning Schedule

Your screens must be cleaned in accordance with the cleaning frequency relating to the environmental location of your screens.

Required Cleaning & Protection Products

• 11 Year Standard Warranty – regular car wash and wax with the option of using CommandeX Clean and Protect. 
• 15 Year Extended Warranty – CommandeX Clean and CommandeX Protect (CommandeX specialised cleaning & maintenance products available for purchase from www.commandex.com.au/shop). A mould removing agent if located in a hot and humid environment.

Cleaning & Maintenance Instructions

Wash your screens in accordance with the cleaning schedule table above.

STEP 1 – Hose Down

Use a mains water (not bore or tank water) hose to wash salt, dirt and dust off your screens. If using a water blaster it is best to use the car attachment or simply stand back with nozzle at least a metre away so you do not strip the paint protection off.

STEP 2 – Wash

Wash the screens with a soft cloth using the recommended cleaner in the table cleaning schedule.

STEP 3 – Final Hose Down

Hose down to rinse the cleaning product off the screen.

STEP 4 – Apply CommandeX Protect** (extended warranty)

Pour “CommandeX Protect” onto a soft rag and wipe on the inside and outside of the screen. “CommandeX Protect*”is a corrosive protective liquid to extend the life of your screens.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

IMPORTANT: Wash contaminants like bird and bat droppings off immediately. These are very acidic and will quickly burn and permanently damage the paint

Step 4 is a requirement for the extended warranty. It may be used in conjunction with the standard warranty, but is only a requirement of the extended warranty terms.

If the screen is only accessible from the outside, you only need to wipe CommandeX Protect** onto the outside of the screen as contaminates generally enter the screen
from the outside of the screen.

Some screens will require extra cleaning & maintenance due to local environmental conditions such as iron rich red dirt or heavy industrial nearby.

**Available for purchase at www.commandex.com.au/shop

*** A saltwater coastline is the area where land meets the sea or ocean; or a line that forms the boundary between the land and the ocean or a lake.

Please Don’t…

-Please don’t use vinegar, dishwashing detergent, cream cleanser, white spirits, lemon or harsh chemicals to clean the screens. It is bad for the paint and you could strip off the paint protection or powder-coating.

-Please don’t use a broom or harsh brush to wash the screens. You could scratch or scrub off the paint protection or powder-coating.

-Please don’t use bore or tank water as it may leave more contaminates on the screen. Typically bore water has high levels of iron and leaves brown staining. Avoid tank or recycled water if possible.

-Please don’t do nothing and expect the screens to survive blemish free for long. Failure to follow cleaning and maintenance instructions will not covered by warranty.

Hot and Humid Tropical Climates (typically Tweed Coast and north). Note : Highly recommended you select the SaltWaterSeries Mesh

STEP 1 –Hose Down

Use a mains water (not bore or tank water) hose to wash salt, dirt and dust off your screens. Do not use a water blaster.

STEP 2 – Wash

Wash the screens with a soft cloth using the recommended cleaner in the table above.

STEP 3 – Spray and soak with https://www.wetandforget.com.au/products/wet-forget-5l-concentrate following the manufacturers instructions. Leave for 24hrs.

STEP 4 – Apply CommandeX Protect (extended warranty)

Do NOT wash/rinse off Wet and Forget Moss and Mould Remover. Pour “CommandeX Protect” onto a soft rag and wipe on the inside and outside of the screen. “CommandeX Protect*”is a corrosive protective liquid to extend the life of your screens.

Screen Rectification for Fungus Growth

In hot and humid areas it has been established that a filamentous fungus may develop from spores. Resulting in the spores getting trapped in the screen. Following the care guide above will kill the spores before they get established. Drier climates or when there are long periods without rain will also kill the fungus spores.

The species of fungal growth that may develop will trap iron ore particles within the mesh. Displaying over time as brown ‘rust spots’ on the screens. White blotches on the screen are the same fungus but without the iron ore content. The blotches (white or brown) will expand over the screen as the fungus blooms. This is on the surface of the powdercoating but needs to be removed before causing damage to the mesh.

The filaments of the fungus wrap around the wire making them very difficult to remove. The fungus will not be removed with washing. It’s quite the opposite. Wetting the screens will provide it with another source of nutrients.

The photos below are very high resolution. It shows what appears to the naked eye as rust. But it is actually the fungus and its tentacles (thin lines) around the mesh.

Two options are available to restore the screen:

Option 1 – Slow & Effective (recommended)

The first step is to neutralise the fungus contamination.

Use only Wet & Forget Moss and Mould Remover.  Follow the instructions on the manufacturers website and dilute it correctly.  This product has proven to work and is not bleach or acid based which will damage the powdercoating.

Day 1

1. Apply using a squirt bottle to spray on both sides of the screen mesh
2. Leave on for at least a week
3. Repeat after 7 days

This will kill the fungus and any spores. Yet because the tentacles are still wrapped around the mesh, it can take 6-12 months to break down and fall off.  This is as per the manufacturer’s instructions.

Week 4

1. Apply CommandeX Protect

Commandex Protect is extracted from sheep wool fibres and is applied as a thin coating to the mesh wire. Protecting and enhancing the black powder coat.

Month 6 and every 6 months thereafter

1. Repeat the steps above, applying the Wet & Forget followed CommandeX Protect.

If the spores are in your area they will continue to get trapped within the mesh.  Spores or Fungus on the screens are not a warranty item.

Option 2 – Fast and Mechanical

The first step is to neutralise the fungus contamination.

Use only Wet & Forget Moss and Mould Remover.  Follow the instructions on the manufacturers website to dilute it.  This product has proven to work and is not bleach or acid based which will damage the powdercoating.

1. Apply using a squirt bottle to spray on both sides of the screen mesh
2. Leave on for at least 24hrs before attempting to remove the filamentous fungus.

If you can only access one side of the mesh it is enough to soak through. 

Mechanical cleaning can then start. Take care to minimise damage to the underlying power coat finish. If you want to avoid any chance of damage to the powder coat finish, follow the Slow & Effective instructions.  Damage to the powdercoat will void the warranty.

CommandeX Protect

If you have effectively mechanically cleaned off all the fungus, the final treatment is to apply CommandeX Protect. Commandex Protect is extracted from sheep wool fibres and is applied as a thin coating to the mesh wire. Protecting and enhancing the black powder coat.

Before / After Photos

See below several Before / After photos.  As you can see the mesh after is completely free of the filamentous fungus.  What appeared as rust like areas, the mesh was able to be cleaned and restored.
