Gases are present in tap water and to allow optimum ultrasonic activity to occur within the bath these gases need to be removed. Activating the ultrasonics, prior to initiating a cleaning cycle will remove these gases from the fluid. The period taken to de-gas the fluid can vary depending on the size of the bath and the hardness of the water. You can tell when the liquid is degased by the increased "cold-boiling" effect at the liquid surface.

Medical devices should be cleaned using a pH neutral detergent. Industrial cleaning can incorporate more alkali or in some cases more acidic detergents. Special consideration should be made when cleaning aluminium or other soft metals which are more susceptible to pitting when subjected to ultrasonic cavitation. See similar questions...

Gases absorb on all surfaces including the ion source surfaces. Over time, these surfaces desorb these gases, increasing the background spectrum of the RGA. The degas function sprays high energy electrons from the source filament which then heat and degas the surfaces of the ionizer. The filament in this mode runs hotter than usual so it is recommended to degas for only about five minutes at a time to avoid premature failure of the filament. See similar questions...

The more instruments placed into an ultrasonic bath, the less effective the cleaning cycle is going to be. It is not advisable to place instruments in the basket so that they overlap as a more effective clean will be generated if all surface areas are openly exposed to the cleaning solution. However, filling a basket so that there is clear space between instruments should lead to an effective cleaning cycle. See similar questions...

The lid is for the protection of the operator and in medical applications the patients also. It prevents aerosols generated during the cavitation process from dispersing and contaminating the reprocessing environment. In addition, the lid reduces the noise levels created during the ultrasonic cycle. See similar questions...

Placing items directly into the tank so that they are in contact with the base can cause damage to the bath. When instruments are in direct contact with the bath, the action of generating ultrasonic activity can cause excessive wear to the base of the tank. Using an Ultrawave bath without a basket will invalidate your warranty. Items should be placed in a stainless steel, mesh basket so that the ultrasonic activity is not significantly reduced.

It is advised that no part of the operator's body be submerged into the fluid during operation of the bath. Ultrasonic energy can cause damage to joint tissue, create discomfort and skin irritation and even lead to long-term arthritic conditions. See similar questions...

Contact lenses are exposed to a complex environment whilst on the eye. The tearfilm contains a number of different proteins which potentially adhere to the surface of the contact lens. The buildup of protein reduces the wettability of the surface of the contact lens which causes a "smeary" or "fogginess" to vision. A protein cleaner, often an enzymatic agent, will help in reducing the potential for protein to adhere to the contact lens surface. See similar questions...

Absolutely! We use very high quality (high cost) slide pots and like a fine race car, maintenance is critical. If you keep the pot clean and lubricated it will last many years. If you neglect them then try to restore them with a generic cleaner you will just have to replace them. Don't just use any "contact cleaner", see our Detailed Slide Pot Care Procedure.

Generally, one (1) gallon will clean 2,000 square feet when mixed at a ratio of 9:1 with water. Two (2) gallons is usually sufficient to clean the average roof. See similar questions...

The degassing process occurs at the end of the fermentation process when you add your packets of potassium metabisulphite and sorbate. Degassing is simply a vigorous stirring with a for several minutes. It is a necessary step which will eliminate the excess carbon dioxide bubbles from the wine. See similar questions...

Ultrasonic cleaning provides a deep thorough cleaning (down to the microscopic level) that other methods can not match. We aren't simply dusting or washing the items off. Every surface is cleaned in the process. No other method cleans the cords, ladders, and mechanical parts in the headrail as effectively (or as gently). See similar questions...

Ultrasonic cleaning produces significantly better results when a detergent is used. We do not advise that water alone is used within the bath. The correct detergent aids in the breakdown of decontamination while also reducing the surface tension of the bath and increasing ultrasonic activity. See similar questions...

In general ultrasonic cleaning is a very gentle process. If damage occurs, it is more likely to be caused by the detergent used rather than the action itself. Please contact us for information on detergent selection. See similar questions...

For best results, we recommend that you use K&N air filter recharging oil and K&N air filter cleaner. K&N air filter oil is a special compound which forms a very efficient tacking agent that helps capture dust. Our cleaner is a non-detergent degreaser. Petroleum products such as transmission fluid and motor oil will soften and destroy the rubber sealing edges. Harsh solvents and gasoline will harden the rubber seals causing the filter to distort (shrink). See similar questions...

One of the special features of the Clorox? ReadyMop? Mopping System is that the trigger allows you to control the amount of cleaner you use on your floors. For tough stains, use more cleaner and allow it to sit on the stain for a few seconds before mopping. No. The Clorox? Advanced Floor Cleaner does not contain bleach and is safe to use on colored surfaces. You may store the mop with the Advanced Floor Cleaner attached so you are always ready to go.
