What do I need to know?
I think I want one to clean auto squeeges.

Would this work?

What chemical do I use that is safe and won't take years off my life.

Yes.  I would look for a slightly more powerful pump.  Brad (MK162) uses Xenon Plastiwash in his.  Your Plastiwash cost for this washer would be $215.

What is the expected lifetime of the $215 worth of chemical?

we use safety kleen and rent ours. they come every few months to re-up the chemicals. i couldn't imagine life without it.

Brad got over a year out of his.  He did install an external filter from a big rig.

I am thinking about adding one of these to my shop. Do you really need to put 20 gallons of chemicals in them.

We got rid of ours when we moved. Now just carding them off and doing them in the wash out booth using a little citrispaste or cg 4 then blowing them off.

Last ones I have used was crystal clean parts washers. It was something like $30 a month to lease the washer and 35 gallons of solvent that would be changed every 1/4.

Would this last though?

I'm a small shop, would they come twice a year?  How much does it cost?

[mk162]

safety kleen is a ripoff.  trust me.  also, their chems are hard on squeegees.  read your terms of service with them, if they spill your stuff anywhere...you are responsible for the cleanup costs and liable for any lawsuits.

i get longer than that out of a thing of chems, you can pour the sludge out of the bottom and let the solids settle and skim the good stuff from the top.  the chems never really go bad, just keep filling it up and once a year or once every 18 months I would deep clean it, pop the top, pour off the good stuff and let the rest settle in a 5 gallon bucket and skim the good off that to go back in.

you can get an oil filter relocation kit from Jegs and put a huge oil filter on it, that will extend the amount of time between cleanouts.  without one i would imagine you would have to  clean it out every couple months.

we use crystal clean .we have them come once a year to fill up our chemicals.

because it burns if it gets on your skin

If you can find one, get a 30 or 40gallon, room gets tight in a 20 gallon with half a dozen squeegees and floodbars. My 40 Gallon tank is nice, and works with 5 gallons of chemical. I think the volume refers to the entire inside volume, not chemical capacity.

I have gently used Blade Runner that is free to a good home. Don't make me post the picture again!

We have a cheapy from Tractor Supply and their PSC-1000 (I think that is it) chemical and it's my guy's favorite tool in the shop.  He HATED cleaning squeegees and I'd have to practically force him to do it.  Now they are always clean and ready to go.
