Hey Tim glad to see you back.. So Ultrasonic cleaners are the greatest addition to a shop when cleaning small annoying parts. But there's a few things you need to do to make them last, and so you don't get hurt, and allow them to clean your parts properly. 1) Always fill the basin to the full line (the crease line around the top of the basin) without your parts in the basin. 2) Always mix your cleaner with hot water to extend the heater life, be sure to run the ultrasonic without parts in it for at least 2 minutes to allow the water and cleaner to mix properly. Ultrasonics "align" the molecules in the fluid to create the agitation action, parts in the fluid load down the transducers needlessly working them harder than they need to. 3) Never reach into an ultrasonic cleaner when it's running, the ultrasonic wave will destroy the cartilage in your finger joints leading to issues you wish you didn't have.. Turn it off before removing stuff. 4) When ever possible restrict the number of "unlike material" items your trying to clean. It is possible to damage items that would normally be OK on there own in the ultrasonic, it looks deceptive but the ultrasonic packs a real punch on some materials so short runs are always a good idea. I have included a link to another You Tuber you might like to check out: Geoffrey Croker Here's his link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpynqHShh6edl6M Glad to see your back at it and Happy New Years Sir & Cheers thanks for the share..

I almost fully agree with you except for line 1, I personally add the parts then fill to the fill line. if they are bigger parts that is. otherwise, ya might overflow the top. Line one about filling is also on the Machine Right there bellow ADMONITION !!!! (this is another word for WARNING) near the on/off button >.< at 7:43 It is in both the instructions and the warning label. Easily missed after all, only about 8% of people ever read instructions. The other 92% wonder why their stuff breakdowns so fast or doesn't work.

Thanks for the vid. I just got my new 30 liter cleaner. It takes over 2 hours to heat up. Once hot, I started the timer.

It might even blow the ultrasonic cleaner right away. Best is not even plugging it in when it's empty!

I was only relating to what I have seen on other channels such as Mustie1. Not sure if there is a less flammable version of carb cleaner.
@TimNummy4 жыл бұрын
Carb cleaner would no doubt be a VERY effective cleaner but it is also some pretty nasty stuff. I do have a can of it but reserve it's use for only when nothing else seems to be working. The simple green is impressively effective for how mild it is on humans and the environment... I'd rather start mild and work my way up to aggressive than the other way around.
