PARTS WASHER BM

I states specifically in manual to use water base solutions and a minimum of 4 gallons. Most of us want to use mineral spirits but for safety concerns I decided to try a water base product. The two possible choices that didn’t break the bank that I found were; wd40 degreaser for 9.99 a gallon or a 5gal container at tractor supply for $43. I chose the WD-40 degreaser because it specifically states it will prevent flash rusting. Because Lowe’s only had three gallons I ordered forth on amazon, before it came I tried unit and it worked great on the three alone. (Not sure how 5gal will even fit, it looks full on 3). I used it so far to final clean cv joints and it breaks grease down well. Unit is built well with drain plug soo if left open fluid can be sealed from evaporation. Size is ideal I think for most people when you consider the sink was otherwise used. The unit closes and latches on a Vw jetta drivers side axle even so your typical smaller parts will work with this nicely. I used bigger units but if space and budget are concerns and you have a taste for quality this is the best option I could find

Good product and it store easy

Très decu. Je machette un bac à varsol que l pompe à incompatible au varsol. 48hrs après l a pompe ne fonctionne plus. Là je ressort le manuelle et ces écrie utiliser détergent soluble dans de l’eau 🤦🏻‍♂️. Stune joke. Ces comme un nageur olympique qui a peut de l’eau ça. Résulta 200$plus tx mal invertie en ta

First off, the unit itself is very solid, and well put together. With that being said you have to use water based cleaning solutions because it is all plastic. I chose simple green crystal for my cleaner. Water based cleaners work better when heated, so i added a GRILLME 1000w heater with temperature controller. I also added a 1/4” 1/4 turn ball valve to limit flow, it tends to splash a bit when the flow is wide open. After those simple mods it cleans everything you want. From motor cycle parts, tools, firearms, you name it with absolute ease. I have about $200 invested in the whole thing with mods. And all it required was a phillips screw driver and a 3/8 drill bit. I did use the parts washer before i made the mods and it still worked very well when using hot tap water. As the water cooled the cleaner became less effective and require more work to clean parts.

Works good for water based cleaners, which is not an option for me. Filled with mineral spirits. The next day the pumps rubber bushings had swelled up enough to lock up the pump. Replaced the ruber bushings with hard plastic bushings and has worked fine since.
