I have some experience with water filtration. a 1 micron filter will give you clean water. It will plug fairly rapidly. how often do you change the filter cartridge?

1 Micron in-Water Filter for Ultrasonic Record Cleaning Tanks
iSonic has a 1 Micron in-Water Filter that will work with almost any Ultrasonic Record Cleaning tank. It is a very simple design filter that hangs in the side of the tank after cleaning your records to restore your tank solution back to clean again. It has a 1 micron filter that fits inside the pump and only takes about 10 minutes to cycle the water in the tank. It is available at Amazon and is reasonably priced.

I have owned this filter system for about 5 months and it has worked flawlessly. The only other thing you need for the filter is a 12 volt power supply which you can also get at Amazon for about $10.
CleanerVinyl sells a similar filter setup for their ultrasonic tanks at a cost of $400. That is outrageous !!! I highly recommended the iSonic setup, a very simple design that works great.
