Premium distilled water for ultrasonic record cleaner

I went with the KLaudio because I didn't want to mess with the Audio Desk cleaners solutions or brushes to be replaced.

The KL does a great job. It won't remove surface fingerprints completely, then again these don't affect playback

if a record is really noisty or needs extra cleaning I will clean it using a Loricraft.  Walker step two cleaner and step 3 water adjent

then off to the KLaudio

trying to decide if I need to beef up my power chord and isolation platform for the ultrasonic

The amount of misinformation in this thread is INCREDIBLE but not surprising. The KLAUDIO instructions specify NO DISTILLED WATER. It recommends either TAP or bottled water, though there’s reverse osmosis that’s demineralized (Aquafina) and R.O. that had minerals added back (Dasani). The instructions are not sufficiently clear when they say “bottled water” but DEFINITELY do not use distilled  says so on page 10 of the most recent manual.

@grooves this is a 6 year old thread also.

@grooves- what version of the manual do you have? The one shown on the KL site is English Version 1.2 and says:

"Use only distilled water to fill the reservoir. Detergents, tap water, and other additives are not recommended and may react with materials used in the system or cause mineral build-up...."

I can check the manual that came with my machine- but the unit shown on their website (still up) looks pretty much identical to the unit I have here in terms of lack of switch on face panel, etc.
