Cleaning Solutions
CAUTION
Do not use alcohol, gasoline, bleach, mineral acids, solutions with a flash point,
semi-aqueous or combustible liquids in ultrasonic tanks, or you will void the warranty.
Only use non-flammable solutions and water-based solutions.
Solution Types
Water-based solutions are either slightly acidic or alkaline. They include detergents, soaps
and industrial cleaners designed to remove specific soils.
Acidic water-based solutions: remove rust, tarnish or scale. They range from mild solutions
that remove tarnish, to concentrated, and inhibited acidic solutions that remove investment
plaster, milk-stone, zinc oxide and rust from steel and cast iron as well as smut and heat-
treat scale from hardened steel.
