Thank you. I am not planning to rinse after the ultrasonic bath, but I do plan to vacuum. I haven't thought about a filtering setup. Is it expensive? Any recommendations on that?
Follow Ups:
I use a filter system with mine, and use the same cleaning solution for about 100 LP's. I turn on the pump between records and let it run while I rinse/vacuum the US cleaned LP's on the VPI. Pump, tubing, fittings, filter housing, and a 2-pack of 1-micron filters cost around $60 all together IIRC. I can put some Amazon links up for the parts I bought if you're interested.
I am interested......
Below are some links for the filtration system. Works very nicely, but there are lots of ways to go about this...this is just what I did. Linked at the bottom is Rushton's thread from a few months ago that has a lot of very helpful info as well, so highly recommended to read through it.

Pump: Unfortunately the pump I bought is no longer available at Amazon.
The one linked immediately below is very similar, but you'll need a power supply for it. Most of the solar and recirculation pumps that are AC powered tend to be pretty expensive. A DC powered one is more wallet friendly, but you may have to search for one that comes with a wal-wart power supply (or buy one separately). I would NOT recommend a submersible pump, as it will have to be pulled out whenever you're cleaning records. Messy. An external pump is preferred.

I got the fittings and tubing (1/2" OD, 3/8" ID) at Lowes. Depending on what pump you get, you'll need to match up the tubing and fitting sizes. The filter housing linked above has 3/8" connections, so if you can find a pump with the same it will make things much easier.
