AVR-Chat

Hello,

My previous company I worked for used two cheapo whirlpool dishwashers for
washing assemblies.  We found that it was actually too time consuming and we
weren't able to get enough throughput because the backlog was in the washing
so we went to no clean for our high run items.

That being said, dishwasher works great.  We put a couple of inline water
filters on the waterline coming in and had no issues with contamination.

If you are using something other than water soluble flux you will need to
use soap.  Most flux manufacturers also sell the soap needed for cleaning.

Thanks,

In a similar vein, I'm thinking of obtaining a dishwasher for cleaning
boards.
I'm not sure wether this is urban legend or not, but I have heard that they
are sometimes used to clean boards..  I wouldn't be able to supply it with
distilled water though, City water would have to do, though a distilled
rinse would certainly be workable.

Thoughts?
