Change the cleaning solution periodically. Cleaning solutions can become contaminated with soil particles which coat the tank bottom. This coating dampens the ultrasonic action and reduces cleaning efficiency. Certain solutions will cavitate better than others. Contact your local distributor for further information.

Heat and cavitation: increase the chemical activity of cleaning solutions. Some materials may be damaged by this stronger chemical action. When in doubt, test run samples of items to be cleaned.

Chemistry Concentrations

Chemistry concentrations may vary. The amount you use depends on the detergent and the type of soil to be removed. Follow instructions on the chemistry container and refer to the table below for the effects of chemistry on metals.
