About Sonirity

Ultrasonic cleaning, redesigned for the way people actually live

Sonirity is a precision ultrasonic cleaner brand. We design and sell a full range of models built around three principles: genuine cleaning performance, verified safety, and a design standard the category has never seen in home use.

Our mission

Sonirity exists to bring genuinely effective, safe, and well-designed ultrasonic cleaners to people who deserve better than what the market has offered. From the jeweler cleaning a client's ring at home to the dental professional maintaining instruments between appointments, our products are built around real use cases, validated by real field experience, and held to a standard the category has not set for itself.

Why we built Sonirity

After years of advising clients across Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming on ultrasonic cleaning equipment, the pattern was always the same: the market was full of machines that looked the part but failed in practice, inconsistent cavitation output, inadequate temperature control, materials that degraded within months, and designs that belonged in an industrial back room rather than a modern home or studio.

Owen is handling a small stainless steel ultrasonic cleaner tank, inspecting it closely with one hand.

The $300 ring cleaner that cracked a channel-set stone because no one had validated its frequency stability. The $600 dental unit that ran at 20% below rated power after six weeks. These were not edge cases. They were the norm in a category where engineering rigor had been replaced by spec-sheet marketing.

Sonirity launched in 2024 to change that standard. The brand name fuses "sonic" with "clarity", the promise behind every product we bring to market: clear performance, honest specifications, and a design that makes ultrasonic cleaning something people actually want in their space.

What every Sonirity product is built around

Verified performance

Every model in the Sonirity range is validated against real cleaning scenarios before it reaches the market. Frequency accuracy, cavitation consistency, and temperature stability are tested, not assumed from a spec sheet.

Engineered for safety

Material compatibility, thermal protection, and electrical safety are built into the product brief from the start, not added as an afterthought. Our validation process draws directly on OSHA, FDA, and ASTM guidelines relevant to each application domain.

Design that belongs at home

Ultrasonic cleaners have looked industrial for decades. Sonirity products are designed to live on a kitchen counter, a jewelry bench, or a bathroom shelf, without the aesthetic of a laboratory supply cabinet.

Honest specifications

Every figure we publish, frequency, tank capacity, watt density, cycle time, is a number we have verified. Not a marketing ceiling. If the spec cannot be reproduced in field conditions, it does not appear on the product page.

Who our products are built for

The Sonirity range covers the full spectrum of ultrasonic cleaning needs, from compact desktop units designed for daily home use to semi-professional benchtop models built for higher-volume applications. Every model is matched to a validated set of use cases, not sold as a generic all-purpose solution.

Jewelry and watchmaking

Precise frequency control and validated gemstone compatibility for rings, bracelets, watch components, and precious metals.

Dental and lab instruments

Models validated for dental instrument and handpiece decontamination, with cycle parameters aligned to FDA Class II device cleaning standards.

Firearms parts

Solvent-compatible tanks with verified watt density for BCG components, triggers, and barrel cleaning, with state-specific usage context in our documentation.

Optics and precision lenses

Low-aggression frequency profiles for coated optical elements, with validated material safety against common lens coatings.

Everyday home cleaning

Compact, design-forward models for glasses, retainers, razors, piercings, and small household items, built for the bathroom counter, not the workshop.

Industrial and PCB

Higher-capacity units with EPA VOC-compliant solvent compatibility for degreasing mechanical components and cleaning circuit board assemblies.

The expertise behind every product

Sonirity products are not designed in a vacuum. The brand was built on 15+ years of direct, hands-on experience with ultrasonic cleaning equipment across every major application domain. Before a product enters the Sonirity range, it passes through a validation process grounded in that field experience, not marketing briefs.

That expertise also drives the brand's editorial standards: every guide, every application note, and every specification published on sonirity.com reflects the same rigor applied to the products themselves. When a claim appears on a product page, it can be traced to a test result, a named regulatory standard, or a verified field observation.

How we hold ourselves accountable

Bench-validated before listed

Every Sonirity product is physically tested before its specifications appear on the product page. Numbers we cannot reproduce in field conditions do not get published.

Regulatory frameworks applied

Safety and performance standards draw on OSHA chemical exposure limits, FDA Class II device cleaning requirements, EPA VOC restrictions, and ASTM material compatibility data.

Named sources, always

Every numerical claim in our product documentation and editorial guides traces to a named authoritative source. No figure is published without a traceable origin.

Failures documented and published

If a product test reveals a limitation or a failure mode, that finding is published in our editorial content. Honest disclosure is a non-negotiable part of the Sonirity standard.

Guides updated every 6 months

Application guides and product documentation are reviewed on a minimum 6-month cycle. Content that cannot be re-verified against current data is updated or removed.

Domain specialists consulted

For technically specific applications, active practitioners, watchmakers, dental technicians, gunsmiths, are consulted to validate findings before publication. Their input is credited where it appears.

Founder & Lead Expert

Owen Hartwell

Owen is a mechanical engineer based in Denver, Colorado. He founded Sonirity in 2024 after 15 years working directly with ultrasonic cleaning equipment, first as an engineer in precision optics manufacturing in Portland, then managing professional cleaning systems in dental equipment distribution in Denver, and later consulting independently across Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming for jewelry studios, watchmakers, firearms dealers, and diagnostic labs.

Owen is the expert authority behind the Sonirity brand. He defines and enforces the validation standards every product is held to, writes and maintains the editorial content on the site, and remains the direct point of contact for the brand. He does not design the products himself, but no Sonirity product enters the range without passing his technical review.

Owen on the Sonirity standard

"Every product that carries the Sonirity name has been through my hands. Not to validate the marketing, to validate the machine. I spent 15 years watching clients buy equipment that failed them in ways the spec sheet never warned about. Sonirity exists because that standard was too easy to meet, and too damaging when it was not."
