WARNING liposomal vitamin C

[Guest guest]

I bought a cheap Chinese ultrasonic bath to make liposomal vitamin C a

few months ago. It worked quite well for that purpose, but I found that

it wasn't sealed very well, and when pouring out the contents, some

liquid could find its way inside the unit. I should have done something

about this, but didn't. A few days ago my unit caught fire, probably due

to this poor design, and if I had left it unattended, it could have been

much more serious.

 

I have since bought a more expensive ultrasonic bath which seems to work

better, and is well sealed so that liquid can't get inside.

Not just a case of " buy cheap, get cheap " , more " buy cheap, burn your

house down! "

 

I just thought I should pass this around in case anyone else has bought

a cheap ultrasonic bath.

It should be possible to seal around the metal bath part using a hot

glue gun, or other sealant.

 

Incidentally, when I took the gadget apart I found it is simply a

frequency generator, an amplifier and an ultrasonic transducer glued to

the bottom of the metal bath.

Paul,

 

Thanks for the warning and for the info on the construction of

the cheap ultrasonic cleaner. I have a number of unused ultrasonic humidifiers

and have considered removing and using the ultrasonic transducers for several

other applications. It appears that they may indeed be suitable for use in ultrasonic

cleaner applications easier than I thought if all you have to do is glue the

transducer to the bottom of a metal pan.
