Distilled water rinse after ultrasonic cleaning


Hi group,I own an Audio Desk Systeme ultrasonic cleaner; I have a question for other owners:After it finishes its cleaning cycle, do you rinse your records in distilled water? I have not been doing that, but wonder if I should include that step in my cleaning regimen.The  ADS cleans vinyl ultrasonically, in water that does include a cleaning solution.

Interested in your experience,Thanks.....

Hey @slaw I see you use an in line filter with your Vibrato US. How have you got it plumbed?
Hi @noromance. I use brass fittings that are barbed on one end then flexible hose rated for high heat.
Thanks but how do you use the filter? Isn't there just a drain on the unit, so how do you pump it out > filter > back into tank?
@noromance,

I connect the tank drain to some hose that travels to filter "1 then another length of hose to filter #2, then another length of hose to the RV pump, then a long length of hose that I manually hold inside the tank when the pump is running.
The second filter isn’t necessary. I was experimenting and tried it this way. What’s more important is filter surface area. The 10" filter provides this. I like the clear filter housing because you can see what’s going on.I change water about every 6 weeks. I pull the tank drain hose off, take the tank to the sink and empty it. Tank back in place now.
Put the hose into a new gallon of distilled water, hold the hose into the tank at the other end, turn on the pump and this washes the line/filter out. This pumping process takes 30 seconds. Empty the tank into the sink again. Reinstall everything and add fresh water. I use Versa-Clean at 2oz. per gallon.
