Jeff,
I think your idea would work pretty good
except for what happens to all the residue.
I would think it might be better to use a
little more solution to get some space between it and the parts. One way to tell
how much the plastic it affecting the cavitation is to place a piece of aluminum
foil in the Zip lock with your solution
and run it for 45-60 seconds. Then put
another piece the same size directly in the
water and run it the same amount of time.
By comparing the two you can tell if the
plastic is hurting you. One of the standard
performance tests in the industry is a small
ceramic disk that you coat one side with
#2 pencil lead. After slowly agitating this
disk in the water for one minute you can
tell if the generator is properly tuned
and how well your solution/water is degased.
I hope your manual explained the importance
of degasing the water. If you send me your
address I will mail you a couple of the disks. Is your cleaner 40KHz, I would
think you could put your hand in the tank
without a lot of pain. They work pretty good
for cleaning your hands and its neat to
watch the ultrasonics pull the dirt right out from under your fingernails. take care Jeffg
