Audio Desk Ultrasonic Record Cleaner Onwers?

Howdy,

Reaching out to other Audio Desk owners here. I am wondering how often do change the rollers, filter and the fluid. Do you go by the pamphlets  or play by ear (no pun intended). I waited for about 150 records before changing the fluid and filter and the fluid was SUPER nasty. I think I will do 100 records now but of course, it depends on how dirty the records are to begin with.

Also, the pamphlet says "not to leave the fluid in the machine for long", which is completely subjective. If you have to drain the system every week (which by the way, is no simple task for a single person) how long do you have to wait to put it back?

It doesn't make sense to me, at all.

We all know that the AD cleaner and the Spin Clean use fluid over & over that our records are exposed to in their respective cleaning methods. The Spin Clean fluid has an additive that (supposedly) makes the "crud" fall to the bottom.

The AD cleaner...It's great to clean the filter and change the fluid, but there is another problem... the crap that forms on the inside of the cabinet that can never be cleaned away completely.

Another reason for the DIY method.
