Can you save and reuse the solution?

    fastcarsgofast,

    Yes, after a fashion.

    I have a tank filled with the solution which gets heated up every time we need to park parts. Then we cool it down and put the lid back on the tank.

    Once the activity slows we dispose of the old and mix new.

    Best.

    Not really necessary. Once the solution is conditioned, it can go indefinitely, providing the tank is topped off with water and the solution is refreshed with fresh solution when the "weight" of the manganese phosphate growth is unsatisfactory.

    I've run the same solution for years. My park comes out dark dark gray to black depending upon the hardness of the material.
