Following is an excerpt from their web site.
"Perhaps the most effective way to clean small parts
including those from scuba regulators / valves is by
ultrasonic‟s. This requires a special machine which generates
high-frequency vibrations (beyond the
range of human hearing) within certain liquid
solvents. Forceful bubble impulsions bombard
virtually every surface of any material submerged
in the liquid; this cavitation literally blasts the contaminants
off the parts, producing a state of microscopic cleanliness!

Do not use solutions like: Vinegar, assorted
pool acids, toilet bowl cleaners nor the like. They
will cause irreversible damage to the chrome finish
of the A700.
