We use a washer soluable solder flux for our solder wave. We then wash the boards in a dishwasher. We have done it this way for years without problems. We just got a new dishwasher and now we get residue on the solder (white marks) Anyone know of wh

The waste water is filtered then sent to city sewer. When we first started we had inspections and then they said our volume was so low and did not require continued testing. We wash 20-40 boards a month. Small 3x4 inch boards. If we hand rinse the b

I had a similar problem a long time ago. I eventually traced the problem to undercured solder resist. The flux was reacting with what was left of the uncured resist, leaving a white residue. We could not even hand scrub this off. The solution was to

Water wash cleaning with a deionized water rise is used for bare boards and assemblies [and probably components also, but we're not sure]. Look here for the basics: http://www.circuitree.com/CDA/ArticleInformation/features/BNP__Features__Item/0,2133

We have 4 diffrent boards that have the problem. The boards have two diffrent suppliers. I dont think this is the case. I more leaning toward not enough rinse cycles in the washer. Jerry

Never use a water softener for defluxing. They add sodium to the water which is bad for boards. The white residue may be flux. If that's the case, either the dishwasher is not powerful enough or the wash water is not hot enough. Another possibili
