WA Engineer, If you are able to change over to OA instead of RMA, you can clean effectively with DI water. (I know that some Military contracts specify RMA) Most systems are designed to filter the waste water of ionized contaminants before dumping t

We have lab sink in our SMT area that we use for washing off stencils and hand tools that are contaminated with solder paste. The sink has a float in it and when the water level reaches a certain point it pumps the main basin out through a filter th

Grant, No-Clean paste + IPA = White Residue! #1: Stop using IPA #2: Switch to either a solvent-based de-fluxing chemical or an aqueous-based de-fluxing chemical. If you are using an ultrasonic cleaner for your boards as stated, do not use sapon
