Dentdog replies: It just seems pretty expensive to load the tank with fresh solution and contaminate it with dirty record product, only to drain and repeat.
I agree with you completely about the seeming waste of loading an entire tank up with chemicals only to drain and throw away the solution after just a record or two. In my set up, I use an inline 1 micron water filter and pump so I can recycle the water in the tank through the filter. I turn on the pump in between batches of records and only change the tank solution every 30-50 records (depending on how dirty the records were).
I took the idea for the pump and filter from bbftx on the diyAudio forum. Here’s his short video showing his implementation and a link to his description and parts list...
