Question about Ultrasonic RCM
 

In general, when using Ultrasonic cleaner, is it better to have the water warm or it doesn’t matter? Thanks in advance.

I use room temp water in a Klaudio US cleaner and it works great.

You don't need hot water. You fill the reservoir and use the same water over and over. The water in the reservoir remains at room temperature.

Wasnt there one model without a reservoir?

I got the model with the internal reservoir. I bet that they both use the same cleaning mechanism. So if the more expensive model (with internal reservoir) keeps water at room temperature, then that means that room temperature is ok for external model as well.

I agree but he may not have been aware of the other variant if he has non reservoir version

The water in the Klaudio will actually start to heat up after several records (cycle of 5 min of wash). I have noticed after 6-10 records in a row the water will not be hot, but will be well above room temp.

Warmer water is a better solvent than cooler water.

Thank you guys for responding. I guess the reason I ask because I made my own US RCM and it does has the temperature settings. I do however use distilled water.

Mike,
Hats off to you for taking the jump into making your own unit. Looks very capable of cleaning LPs well. I would suggest using Aquafina water - reverse osmosis. Just my preference; love your multiple LP cleaning ability. Did you build from plans?
