Prolly the worst. I'm sure it depends on who you get, but Cali not only looks for things that affect the waste stream, but will report on things not up to code, and the biggest being they look for earthquakes violations.

Thanks for the input! We are doing a few protos this week and we will see how they go!

Agree with what has been said so far. Check with your end customer and make sure the white haze appearance of the board will be acceptable. You will never get the board to look like it did before you started. It may be clean but it won't look like t

That's like asking the IRS to do your taxes for ya. Once they're in your building, they will not leave until they go thru top to bottom. Remember, EPA Field Investigators are "supposed" to find things wrong. They may not find any thing wrong with

Hi Dave, It may be. DI water alone will not build up residue. It can attack the finish of electro-polished (mirrored) stainless steel though. I have seen a white / chalky buildup on poly inline cleaners, usually isolated in the wash section. The

| At this moment in time we are using water soluble solder paste on our PCBs these are cleaned using water only, agitated with ultrasonics. After drying a white/grey residue is left around solder joints. Reflow profile is fine and a reliable wash pro

Bill: I'm with you on the first thing that you said about DI water, but in the second paragraph, how do you reckon the saponifier affects the DI water?

Dave, The saponifier (or any additive) will supply free ions and contaminate the DI water. If no contamination is introduced (very difficult) or if fresh hot DI water is constantly added as in a steam age chamber, the DI water will begin to obtain
