Abstract
A technique for preventing mineral, mineral salt and other deposits from impeding the motion of movable components in a submerged environment. The technique allows for a movable component in a submerged environment to move freely beneath a deformable member. As the member deforms, it fractures deposition products so they do not significantly impede the path of the movable component.
