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?

Try a small ultra-violet light.

Yeah, man. Get a blacklight and watch the cool patterns in the mist.
thud Oops, I'm back. What was it you were saying, 'Arry?

Are you talking about the UV lights like they use to purify spas?

Yep! The air bubbler Gunner mentioned can be a good idea, too, assuming
the growth is anaerobic. Could probably control it with silver, too.

The air bubbler is found in a ****load of machine shops. Since I
service machinery for a living..and I tend to get covered with coolant
at times...how "buggy" it is is important to me. Some of the stuff on
shops that dont use any way to control bugs...its eaten the skin away
on my arms, top of my head etc.

I wear a hat a lot, or a "do-rag" when going into these machines,
because I really hate open sores on the top of my head...makes the
barber recoil a bit......
