Instead of using tap water in the tank, can you use a solvent like actone without ruining anything? I have to clean small airbrush parts.

I'm not sure...BUT...I have used denture cleaning tablets w/water and silver cleaning solvent and jewlery cleaning solvent undiluted and it did no damage. I have also used a drop of Dawn dish detergent w/water and 1/2 bleach/ 1/2 water. So, I think the answer is yes, you can use acetone without doing damage to the machine.

I would be hesitant to use acetone. You might want to check with manufacturer. I haven't used it but everything else works well with the Bliss cleaner. Good luck!

So Sorry I have not read the manual that well, so just cannot say one way or the other. I would think for the price of the machine why not risk it?

I would not use a solvent like acetone in any enclosed environment. Several non-flammable cleaning solutions are available through Amazon including jewelry cleaners etc

I have no idea. The directions say to either water or the cleaning solution that came with the machine .

I've had the unit since December 2013, use it with culligan filter, no problems. If you use tap water mineralization may effect service life. There really is no way to demineralize using vinegar as you would a conventional drip coffee maker

I read instructions on the can, nothing mention about using brush to paintI was used with air sprayer .This liquid very thin ( like.... water, solvent)

you should be able to extract all of it but a very smaal amount at the bottom of the tank. use a larber tube, and you don't need that much pressure, but it won't hurt to.

I have the machine, and only use tap water. I imagine that I will have to run vinegar thru it occasionally as in other coffee makers to remove water residue. However, I am not going to buy water for my coffee machine. Too much trouble. I do, however, love the machine and having a fresh hot cup of brewed coffee each time.

Hello, you can use plain water but be sure it is distilled or RO water. We do however recommend record cleaning fluid made for vacuum record cleaning machines. We have many different types available. Let us know how we can help. Regards, Dan Dedicated Audio

Follow the directions in the manual and clean out the tank!! Then only use distilled water.

Havent used solvents through it but if it said u could then it should do fine. Clean it the way they say for solvents. Probably with mineral spirits or something like that, and put the blue stuff back in it before the next use and it will be fine. Use the blue stuff after every use. R. Hughes

Yes,...I use tap water and oils all the time...but it is best if you use filtered water...because it comes free of foreign matter.The most important issue is that you clean and air it out after every use...water left to itself tends to fester.

Super easy care! Clean with a cotton swab. I think it says u can use vinegar to sit for a little in the tank but I haven't needed to. Very easy. I use distilled H2O BC I have very hard well water.

You can or you can not. My husband and I let it soak in the existing tank water for a bit before putting it in. This allows some of the good bacteria from the water to mix into the filter before hand.

Yes you can but it will be difficult to do. On glass I use a homeade cleaner that works great 2 cups water 1/2 tsp dawn 1/4 cup white vinegar" good luck!

We pre-filter our water even before putting it into the distiller, so we don't get much build up after a single distillation, but I have friends who have said they experience what you do when using tap water. I'd clean it after ever distillation, and I'd use the product they recommend. It works great. We still do other cleaning with white vinegar, but we think that the stuff in the jar works better.

You could use a Very small amount but the oil is not designed for cleaning per saYou may find this advice helpfulhttp://www.pyramydair.com/blog/2005/04/how-should-i-clean-my-airgun-barrel.htmlL

I would not recommend using a solvent with this particular ultrasonic cleaning device. There are other devices out there more suited for this type of task.

No u can use oilbased, but it'll take way to much mineral spirits to clean the machine. I don't use oilbased paints in mine.

Not sure. I've used Hoppes solvents and oils for years on my firearms but never on airguns. When I do clean an airgun I use air tool oil which you can buy at any hardware or tools retail store. Your best bet is to call a Umirex technical assistant at their customer service number. In general avoid making the parts "wet' with lubricant, it just drains off and attracts/holds dirt to the part. A really thin coat of grease at at heavy wear point of friction would be more effective. By all means keep the lubricant, especially petroleum, away from the seals of the air chamber where the air getscompressed or released under high pressure. It can damage the seals and there is some high heat that occurs when hi-pressure air is explosively released.
