For those of you who use it regularly, how'd you use it?

1) Brass in Beakers isolating the Cleaning Solution from the tub,...

2) ...or Cleaning Solution directly in the tub?

Either way will work. Main difference will be that with the beaker, you wouldn't have to change out the water all the time. But I never leave water in my US cleaner anyways. As far as cleanliness, made no difference for me. And I only US clean if the brass is really dirty.
 
Ok, thanks.

My tub has a drain spigot, should simplify things.
 
While the stainless tub won't present a problem, if you have tubing off the drain spigot, citranox might present a problem. Personally I'm a beaker guy and like keeping distilled and degassed water in the tub with beakers suspended in the water with a 1% citranox solution. Easier to clean up!
