Ultrasonic cleaning?

[Guest]

Hi guys, anyone got any experience on using an ultrasonic cleaner? Just bought a new one and trying it for the first time on a fuel tap. Cant see anything happening here?

they work exceptionally well. what solution are you using in the cleaner?

[Devon bloke]

I have read they should just work with water but ive added some industrial cleaning solution from work. The trouble is I see nothing happening no zi zi noise or bubbles or anything. The unit has power because all the display and timer works. Ive even got a peice of foil in there to check its working but nothing?

Sounds defective, that foil should be full of little holes.

only if you leave it in too long. it should be covered in tiny little "dimples".

yes, if there is no action in the water then something is wrong. are you sure you have turned it on properly? some have heater controls, have you turned the heater on and not the cleaner itself?

Lol sorry mate but yeah the controls are quite simple to understand Ive just never used a cleaner before. Just wanted to check if you can actually see anything happen normally

Think it is defective, had it on 8 minutes now and the water is still clear and no milkiness or anything. F*cking cheap sh*t ebay chinese cr*p. It was supposed to be a UK company too

as you say, you should see some action in the water, and hear some noise from it.
contact the seller and see what they have to say about it.
can you post a link to the ebay seller so we can see the item? (and avoid it, lol)

[Devon bloke]

Its one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3010295164...84.m1497.l2649

Think that should work. It is a 1.3 litre and a bit small but it would have done each carb body separately ok. If it worked. Its supposed to be a UK company but I think they are a chinese company. Ebay needs to sort that out, it does my head in. Theres no way Im paying return postage to asia the seller is away put at least i have a communication in the ebay system.

Just when I decide to get my finger out and start on the bike too. Oh well will need to source another one i guess

Hmmmmm, the sellers negative feedback sums it all up really.
I always check feedback from comanies like that before i buy. I wouldn't have purchased from them in the first place. Hope you get a full refund...

[Devon bloke]

yeah I did check feedback but they sell a lot of gear and also receive a lot of positive feedback so decided to go with it. Hopefully I will get a refund but I am only gonna send it back to the birmingham address it was sent from.

[Agemax]

yeah if the seller says you have to send it back to China, contest it and get Ebay involved. The listing clearly states the item is in the UK, and they sold it to you, so they are responsible.

Not sure how it is in the UK, but in the US. The seller has a contractual obligation to deliver the product working and as described. If he product is incorrect, or broken then seller failed to meet the contract. It is sellers responsibility to get their defective product back.seller is still obligated under the original contract to deliver what was represented.
I had a Chinese vendor, send wrong product and ran me around for two weeks. Wanted me to pay $30 to re turn a $35 item (free shipping) from China.
Anyway eBay /paypal issued refund of all the money within 3 hours of receiving the escalated complaint.

Just been reading lots of horror stories about return postage to china. I have the original packing box etc and the shipping address is in Birmingham so thats the only place its gonna go back to. We shall see what the seller says on Monday hopefully.
