In Reply to: RRL cleaning fluid. posted by Streamz on August 2, 2005 at 00:10:20:
I get mine from Music.direct in Chicago they were or perhaps still are running a 4 32 oz Bottle (1 Gal.)RRL SVW for $80.00 US which might not be a bad way to fly for someone having to bear the shipping cost to NZ. but I clean a lot of records and a Gallon last me a very long time.It's too bad RRL doesn't offer their solvents in a concentrate form
to minimize the oversea's shipping costs.

According to Brian Weitzel of RRL, (I've asked) RRL doesn't offer a concentrate because they know that it won't be mixed with water as pure as theirs.Most folks would mix it with "distilled" water from the grocery, which doesn't compare to their triple steam distilled/four stage deionized base water.
Best,
Before RRL I've used my R.O. (reverse Osmosis) water for mixing solvents and rinsing used a conductivity meter to test it against Distilled and a clients super duper De-Ionized R.O'ed several times
water they use for clean room processes and I didn't percieve the slightest differences.
I've read so many posts from serious chemists etc. szying that the triple distilled deionized etc. is only a psycholgical improvement that minimal atmospheric exposure renders it all just distilled in short order.I think the super water stuff is hype and wishful thinking, but who knows ?
The again the RRL has been an extraordinary RC solvent for me.
And the manufacturer attributes much of RRL's success to their ultra pure water.I feel the same as you, RRL is extraordinary. This said, I'll respect Weitzel's perspective.
Best,
