Lotus cleaning system oxygenated water for LP's?


Anyone with a Tersano Lotus water cleaning/treatment system ever tried cleaning LP's with it? The concept is they add a third oygen molecule to water, and the water becomes a super cleaning agent for about 15 minutes. They claim it cleans much better and faster than Clorox, and blog postings seem to back this up, stating stains that harsh chemical cleaners wouldn't take out were dissolved by the Lotus. This is the cleaning system I'm talking about, not the drinking water system, as that unit de oxygenates the water afterwards for drinking.

The system has a sensor for contaminants to tell you when the fruit or veggies are fully clean. I wonder as a test if an LP were vertically rotated through the water, would the sensor indicate it was eventualy free of contaminates. Of course I was more thinking of using it in a VPI, and vacuuming off the water afterwards. The creator of the unit does state that ozone (O3) can be tough on some plastics and rubber, but the LP would not be my concern, since it would be in contact only once for a short time, but rather the plastic parts of the VPI machine. The inventor has indicated they will test materials that users suggest. I haven't contacted them yet about their thoughts on LP vinyl, I figured it might be good to get some ideas from this forum to querry them about.

Thoughts?

What is wrong with dry cleanig lps with a carbon brush and calling it a day? Wet cleaning probably creates more problems than it solves. My comments apply to new vinyl. I have no idea hat one has to go through with grungy old used vinyl.
I saw some of the equipment you have anarchy and wouldn't call anyone wrong if I were you! If I'm wrong at least I'm not alone since Roy Gandy of Rega (who knows more about turntables than you, I dare say) is of the opinion that the obsession with cleaning vinyl albums is just that. For good measure, he also thinks that the other obsession about adjusting VTA is a waste of time. It seems that insulting me is just par for the course for you. You are a vey insecure man, I'm afraid...
