If you use it correctly, the labels will not get wet. The first generation never had a sealing ring and the labels didn't get wet there either. Please contact us to tell us more about your problems. I am sure we can help you to keep your labels dry. Send us a message to info@knosti.de

Es freut uns sehr, das Sie mit dem Ergebnis der Reinigung so zufrieden sind und nun auch die Ihre "alten" Vinylschätze super sauber und knisterfrei abspielen können! Ihr Knosti-Team #langlebevinyl

Thank you for your questions. The ultrasound frequency is 46 kHz. It does not run constantly, but with intervals. An antistatic spray is not necessary if you use our cleaning liquids, because they have an antistatic effect. Unfortunately, I cannot say whether it can be used with AdBlue, as we do not offer this, there are no tests on this and there is only a guarantee with the cleaning liquids we offer, such as the "Disco-Antistat Mixture" and the "Disco-Antistat Ulraclean Concentrate", which should best be mixed with double distilled water. I hope I was able to clarify your questions, otherwise feel free to write to us at any time. Your Knosti Team

You are right about that. Thank you for the objection. We will work on publishing this and future videos in English. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to send us a message. info@knosti.de Thank you!

You can freely select the cleaning time between 1 minute and 5 minutes in 10 second increments.

Don't worry, this is only abrasion of the antistatic agent contained in the liquid that remains on the record after cleaning. Neither your needle nor the record will be damaged. This problem is usually caused by the fact that the record was not completely dry after cleaning when it was put back into the sleeve and stowed away. Even if the record appears dry on the surface, it may still be damp in the groove. If the record is now stowed away, the moisture in the groove cannot dry or dries very slowly and the antistatic agent does not cure completely (this usually occurs when using lined inner sleeves). When playing the record, the still soft antistatic layer is then rubbed off the needle and becomes noticeable as "white fluff" on the needle. Therefore, please bear in mind that the drying time given in the instructions is only a guide value which depends on various factors (e.g. ambient temperature, humidity, etc.). We therefore advise you to leave the records to dry for longer rather than too short a time after cleaning. The abrasion deposited on the needle can be easily removed with a needle cleaning brush, a suitable brush or special needle cleaners. The affected records should be washed again with your Disco-Antistat washer. For further info do not hesitate to contact us again :)

@@knostidisco-antistat1415 Thanks a bunch for the info. I guess I should give it a try - while none of my newer records need any cleaning (besides regular brushing before playback), I just got a few dozen *ancient* vinyls from my dad, and quite a few of them are in need of care. A lot of caked-in dust which is a nightmare to clean manually. Your kit seems tailored for the job!

@@Sharkaat84 You should also try washing your new records with our machine. You will be surprised how much dirt and production residues can be found on new records and how positive a cleaning has on the sound quality of these records.

@@knostidisco-antistat1415 That's an absolute lie, the residue that remains on the vinyl and then on your expensive stylus really doesn't go away even if you let your vinyl dry for 7 days (after playing the same LP three times there is still a lint residue on my expensive stylus !). The machine is great but the fluid is a very expensive joke and luckily there are other brands on the market these days that don't leave any significant residue on your vinyl.

Agreed, but I do think this is overpriced too! Maybe I'm just cheap, but I can't imagine what's inside one of these to justify the cost!

@@pSynrg3031250Eur? It is overpriced for sure. My Vevor ultrasonic cleaner costs 200Eur, one fifth of Knosti, plus my Vever can clean 5 records in single cleaning run.

Hello Brendan, it basically depends on which of our cleaners you use. Our cleaning concentrate Disco-Antistat Ultraclean consists of a cleaning component specially developed for cleaning vinyl, an antistatic agent and a little citrus fragrance. The concentrate should be mixed with double-distilled water (e.g. Disco-Antistat BiDest). Our ready-mixed cleaning agent Disco-Antistat Mixture also consists of a special cleaning component, an antistatic agent, double-distilled water and some alcohol. However, the exact chemical composition of both cleaning agents is a trade secret ;)

Hello Andre, that depends on the pollution level of the Mixture. Depending on how dirty the records to be cleaned are, one litre of the cleaner is sufficient for a maximum of 200 maintained records. The higher the degree of soiling of the LPs, the fewer records should be washed with the cleaner, as naturally soluble substances accumulate in the cleaner over time. As soon as the initially clear liquid has turned brownish amber, you should replace the cleaning liquid.
