[labnetwork] Water cooling lines cleaning solutions

[Dan P. Woodie]

Most Excellent Lab Managers,

I am sure most of you have struggled at one point or another with clogged cooling lines on tools or chillers from either mineral deposits or biological growth. We built a specialized cleaning cart with a tank, pump, and filter that we can connect to a tool to run a cleaning solution through it. We are looking for suggestions for cleaning solutions that others have found to work well without corroding the materials in the tool too badly. We have purchased some corrosion testing coupons to test these solutions before putting them into use and hope to share this data with the community once the work is done.

So, if you have any cleaning solutions you can recommend, please share them so we can include them in the testing. Thanks.

Dan
