I'm actually surprised it works at all without water. Usually a fluid is needed to spread the vibrations from the transducer throughout the area of the bath container. I would expect it to work much better with water. Usually the heating problem is in the tranducer--not the bath. These are not designed for continuous use. Many have thermostats built in to prevent overheating. - Please turn off HTML mail features. Keep quoted material short. Use accurate subject lines. http://www.leben.com/lists for instructions.
