Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning

Hello Audiom.

I use a 6 litre tank. Well made, good features, no regrets. Since it's a lab machine, I trust its specs - and the results are quite surprisingly good, even for my high expectations.

Re-reading my post of March 6, I should have written

7. Observed no AUDIBLE change or difference of any kind.

@terry9,

I've ordered Versa-Clean and Photoflo. My plan is to use this with distilled water for the time being as my next phase of my progression of US cleaning.

I have two existing RO filtering systems. One I cut off years ago when a leak developed and an identical new unit never installed. I think I'll try to install/fix both and use one with a mineral cartridge for my drinking water and the other just for my US cleaning needs. Thoughts/suggestions?

@terry9 ,

I’ve been experimenting again... I can certainly understand now, why you describe your rinsing effort as heroic! Let me explain......

I’m still using my AD/distilled water. It’s at close to a complete water change. I received my Versa-Clean. I decided to just put in a small amount to my existing water. I did not measure it but I guess 2oz? When I pulled the lp out to rinse/vacuum on my VPI....major suds coming through the vacuum tube. So, I’m not even at the 20:1 ratio and still having a major amount of rinsing to do.

Mine is a 10 L tank but of coarse it isn't filled to capacity. It takes slightly under 2 gal to fill it to operating capacity.

Good idea about the RO systems. Think that's absolutely right. I like to finish with distilled water.

Chemistry - I like to use 40:1, measured with lab glassware. But a measuring cup would work fine, if you are careful.

Glad to see that it's working for you. All the best.
