Your experience tells me Audio Desk is doing one hell of a job.

Ultrasonic cleaning results in undesirable residue which must be dealt with at some point and the frequency of solution renewal cannot be dialed in to any specific number of cleanings as many factors are in play. It's wise though to be cognizant of the number of cleanings and periodically check the filter element as it's an easy item to view to see how much contaminant the machine has been removing. When in doubt, drain & refresh.

Regardless though, thorough cleaning is what I bought it for in the first place and it seems to be holding up to its side of the bargain. If responsibility requires me to buy distilled water and concentrate more often, then so be it. That's life & part of the deal.

As for the contaminated material, I'll dump it on the weeds.

Best Sirs,

Bob
