TSP is neat: it makes copper shiney black like gun blue. Might be a better option for those who'd paint their rads black.
What's an ultrasonic cleaner? Something one could rig up with the right solenoid?

Very true.

Let's say a watercooler cleans out his HC once a year or so. We're talking about only a handful of hours max until, well really, the dude switches to another setup. On the other hand though, you don't mind if your boat's cleats erode a good bit, but most good waterbocks aren't as rudimentary.
TSP? I'm not familiar with that. The only TSP I know TechSupport and phone service provider, as well as what I stir my tea with lol.
An ultrasonic bath is really just a tub that vibrates, but like a mad feen. Gives you a real weird sensation when you put your hand in there, kind of like you're being poked with a bunch of pins. I've used it in the Chem lab to clean glassware to scrupulously clean, analytical specs (PChem lab) or something as simple as helping cantankerous solids dissolve into solution more quickly. You can’t run them for too long though (hours on end) as they will over heat, or at least ours did.
