You should check the archives, there has been much written on this subject in the past. Asking about the correct chemistry is wise. It never ceases to amaze me how many people think ultrasonics will work without the proper chemistry. Without the rig

Hello Paul, Prior to 1980, I would say that your concerns were real regarding the resonant frequency. However, since then all major ultrasonic cleaner manufacturers use a "sweep" frequency technology. By "sweeping" or alternating the frequency bet
