For most cleaners we recommend a 50% duty cycle. Cycles should last 10-20 minutes depending on how contaminated the components are.

EG after a 10 minute cycle, allow the device to rest for 10 minutes before running it again.

If you feel cavitation is not occurring properly you should perform the ‘foil test’:

- Set your tank to its correct operating temperature; add any solution and degas the fluid.

- Suspend a piece of baking foil in the tank and switch on the ultrasonic power.

- After around 1 minute, inspect the foil. If the cleaner is operating correctly the foil should be perforated and wrinkled.

Heavy or dense items can be cleaned but they should not be placed on the bottom of the tank as this could damage the transducers. Instead they should be suspended in the bath by basket or other means such a wires.

Yes they do. Rinsing removes the residues of the cleaning fluid and any dirt or contaminants which may have been worked loose by the cleaning.

Parts rinsed in de-ionised water will dry clear of water spots.

If the objects you wish to clean are too small for the basket place them in a glass beaker filled which is also filled with cleaning solution. The cavitations are unaffected by glass so will pass through and act upon the items inside.

Do not place the beaker directly on the bottom of the tank though as this will effect the operation of the ultrasonic emitters – either suspend it in the solution, or place it within the basket.
