Temperature of water for ultrasonic RCM


I have a CleanerVinyl RCM - very happy with it. Have been fooling around with water temp and wondering if anyone else is doing or has done the same? I had been using it with the water at room temp, and was thinking that I was the dishes in warm water, so why not clean my records in warm water? So I pumped it to 40C and it seems to be getting a LOT more junk off my (supposedly) clean records that have all been previously run thru the RCM.

Thanks for any feedback.

I’m using an Isonic without heater, and I’m trying to figure out a way to introduce a little heat to the process.  I used it 5 hours yesterday, and the water was as cold when I finished as when I started.  When I dropped down to 4 records per cycle, with @2.5 inches between each disc, I noticed a big difference in results.  It was good with 10 records, but now I can visualize the water acting on the surface of the record.  Results sound even better.  Seems like slightly warmer water would be helpful?  Something short of buying a new unit.  Any ideas?
