Our wave started leaking a year ago. We welded, patched inside and outside the pot with metal patch. This works if you leave your wave on all of the time. If you turn your pot on and off consantly, the temperature cycles will bring the crack back. Ty

Any suggestions/experience in repairing an old electrovert stainless wave solder pot? We have been running SN100C in this pot for a few years, and it developed a small leak along the weld in one corner. I am wondering of the best repair methods, an

We are having an issue with the solder bars hanging the solder feeder dripping down the back side of the pot, and leaking in to the area where the terminal block for the elements on the pot are. We have tried aluminum tape to close off the gap betwee

Probably you can weld the spot that is leaking as a temporary fix.As for a long term solution, I would probably go with a lead free retrofit kit.It is basically a titanium insert that you place into your existing pot and it is cheaper then buying a n

Hi all, My company recently purchased a preowned EBSO SPA 400-F, and I am trying to get it up and running. Still need to get a few other parts like a nozzle and nitrogen generator, but in the meantime I was looking to clean out the residues and oxid

The answer is simple...kind of. The short answer in terms of total cost (if you don't run an air conditioner) is there is no difference. The technical answer is: The First Law of Thermodynamics - Conservation of Energy applies. You have an entire s

Just to clarify: I'd say that it will potentially save money by turning the wave off at night, but the savings are minimal. But...If your power rates are cheaper during off peak hours (at night) like some power companies offer, it may save you money

We were doing the same a few months ago, it took us 1 shift with 2 persons to drain it (we were repairing a leak), we were disconecting the resistors once they were not in contact with molten solder to prevent overheating... Here you have a pic of t

Hello Sergey, I have used Kirsten Modula Wave with ADL (anti dross liquid) option. We have had the same expectation like you: less dross and lower operation cost due to no inert gas is required. That is achieved, the dross generation was modest and t
