Tom: My wife works as a research tech at the local university, so I'm lucky in that she simply brings home a giant bottle of lab grade water for me every 3 or 4 months. I'm in full agreement with you that getting the carbon fibre brushes good and wet before you start cleaning is a great idea and that's exactly what I use the lab grade water for, as well as rinsing and cleaning the brushes with a couple of vacs over the KAB slot (which also tends to clean the velvet slot) when I'm finished the cleaning session. I simply pour about an about 1/4" into a small bowl and park it right next to the turntable I spin the records on to apply the fluid. When I'm done cleaning, I just dump it and do not feel any great remorse, as I know I would dumping RRL down the sink. Perhaps you could find a local supplier for lab grade or heavily distilled water for the soak and clean as I do. I'm sure it would be considerably less expensive than using the RRL in that function and I've experienced no deleterious effects in doing so.
