My cool mist quit today and it had a load of snot in the tank clogging it
up. I am using a eco-non-anything coolmist koolaid and water, and had it all
washed out 3 months ago. I use it most of the time I am milling, but still
only need to fill it once or twice a month.
What are you guys using to kill bacteria? I don't think adding gas or laquer
thinner to a water base will do, what about Lysol or another alcohol?



Stick a fish tank bubbler stone in there with an air pump from the 2nd
hand store and run it a few hours a day.

Most coollant bacteria is anerobic and the bubbler kills it dead
