Maintenance 

It  is  important  to  keep  your  bath  clean.  Not  only  will  contaminated  liquid 
reduce  the  performance  of  the  bath,  it  may  also  damage  it.  Change  the 
cleaning liquid regularly. Your cleaning process will determine how often to 
change the liquid 

 the more soiled your items, the more often you will need 

to change the liquid. Change the cleaning liquid at least daily. 
The base of the bath generates the ultrasonic activity by vibrating at very 
high speeds. If any contaminants are in contact with the bath, they act as 
an abrasive, causing wear on the metal surface. In extreme cases, the bath 
will develop holes and start to leak.  
Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) should be conducted with water in the bath. 
There are no user serviceable parts inside the bath. All service and repair 
must be conducted by suitably trained and qualified engineers approved by 
Ultrawave.  

Troubleshooting 

Ultrawave  has  a  dedicated  After  Sales  team  who  are  able  to  resolve  any 
problems  that  occur  with  your  bath.  However,  on  many  occasions  it  is 
possible that the problem can be rectified by the operator.

electricity is present. Check the mains plug fuse.

sonicate, please contact our After Sales team.

unit is switched on.
