I don't use a jar myself, but I do use smaller zip locks bags so I can just use plain tap water as the main liquid in the tank, both with ISO and PCB Cleaner solution where required. It works really well.

I thought plastic is too good at dampening the soundwaves..
CaptainBucko:
I have not noticed any issues myself, but I don't doubt it is (slightly) less efficient in sound wave transmission.
The benefit of using the barest minimum amount of cleaning product is significant however.
MathWizard:
So what happens if you don't degas ? Do bubbles just stick to the PCB and not get cleaned as good ?

I've watched video's of UC, but don't remember the noise, certainly not a loud one anyways.

Do people dip big things like whole computer PSU's in them ??  I have no plans to get an UC. Just that much distilled water and whatever else must get expensive.

1,1,1Tricho was awesome stuff - I used to joke it was the main flavoring ingredient in Terry's Chocolate Orange due to its subtle sickly sweet citrus odor.
