Distilled water rinse after ultrasonic cleaning


Hi group,I own an Audio Desk Systeme ultrasonic cleaner; I have a question for other owners:After it finishes its cleaning cycle, do you rinse your records in distilled water? I have not been doing that, but wonder if I should include that step in my cleaning regimen.The  ADS cleans vinyl ultrasonically, in water that does include a cleaning solution.

Interested in your experience,Thanks.....

My ultrasonic fluid contains some things other than water, so I definitely want to get all that stuff off.  After the US cleaning, I give each record a spin on my Keith Monks-style vacuum machine and do a three part rinse with MFSL Wash, MFSL rinse, followed by HPLC water, vacing between each step.  After a cleaning session, I pump the fluid through a filter and into a gallon jug for storage.
