Re: Discwasher fluid

Sean,
Look in the bottle by removing the cap, and shining a strong light in through the side. If the fluid looks clear and free of any debris or dark matter, then it is probably OK.
Sometimes, the employees that worked mixing and dispensing the fluid would break protocol, and contaminate a batch. Even though each batch was checked for proper chemical content, if contaminated, it would eventually grow a mold in the bottle, usually only after years of storage though. The usual situation is that the fluid would remain fresh and stable for years, as it was buffered and had anti-microbial ingedients.
One other check is to carefully smell the fluid. It should not smell sour or real bad, just sort of soapy and very mild chemical smelling.
Even though Bruce Maier used to drink bottles of the stuff to show it was non-toxic, I would be careful with any older fluid, as you have no way of knowing what condition it is in, so be careful not to ingest any or get it in your eyes, nose, etc. as a precaution.
As far as I know, Recoton is still selling it, although I noticed they quit making the most advanced formula, D4+, as it was much more expensive to make than the regular D4.
