What kind of solution should I be using in the professional units? Accdg to the package instrucctions on my new device, it says not to use: Flammable (alcohol based solutions, etc), acidic based (Drain-O(!), etc) or Ammonia Based solutions (Mr. Clean, etc) in the ultrasonic... so...what SHOULD I be using?!

Ame, The company you bought your new Gemoro from also sells the solution for $5.95: http://www.renterprises.net/catalog/i363.html The GemOro solution can be purchased here for $8.95: http://www.jewelrysupply.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=8321 I use one from OttoFrei that you dilute 40:1 for general cleaning but it is more money $19.50: http://www.ottofrei.com/store/product.php?productid=3367&cat=730&page=1 All are non-ammoniated. I think the $5.95 one would be just fine.

Cflutist On an earlier post about ultrasonic cleaners you mentioned not to clean tanzanite in them, only diamonds, sapphires and rubys. I have a custom made ring with Tanzinite in the center and four bands of 40 little diamonds in a channel cut. These diamonds are always looking dull and sometimes a tooth brush just doesnt seem to do the job. If not ultrasonic becasue of The Tanzanite, any other ideas? I tend to have Tanzanite, Mystic Fire, Amethyst as well as diamonds.

Date: 2/15/2006 2:20:08 PM And I am in love with it. Love that it is heated. Works great, and the noise isn't bad at all. So far so good. I turn it on in the morning before I shower and viola my rings are cleaner than ever.Author: Dancing Fire Date: 2/15/2006 12:00:45 PM KaleighAuthor: kaleigh I just ordered the GemOro for my new Crest Ultrasonic Jewelry cleaner.

Date: 2/18/2006 5:46:36 PM Do you microwave the solution first or do you just use the heater? Mine take about 20 min. to heat up.

Just an update on my new GemOro US. I purchased and received mine from Renterprises about 2 weeks ago. It worked once and then shorted out!!!! Thankfully, the company was very apologetic and allowed me to return it for a new one rather than insisting I send it to Gemoro for repair. After one use, I wanted a new one, not repair on that one!!!! I sent the unit back and they immediately sent me a replacement. Robert Pittman called me just to let me know what the problem was with the faulty one. It turns out the first one had a circuit board that was not screwed into place. When it moved around inside the US, it broke off a transistor which is why it stopped working. For $200 I was expecting a lifetime of use, so you can imagine I was a little annoyed when it stopped working after one use. That was really nice of them to call me and just let me know exactly what the problem was. Anyway, Renterprises got a new one to me in a couple of days, and it has been working fine. It is pretty quiet compared to my last US, and I do think it works better on getting the gunk out of the small spaces in my jewelry.
