ah.  I'll just stick with my washout booth then.  It works fine to spray a bit of 701 and scrub.  Was hoping that part could be automated in some way :/


Don't discount it just yet... We got the 20 gallon on wheels and the psc1000 from TS.

Then we modded it out with an oil filter relocation kit and a T and flow throw brush. Constant clean chemical and it is probably printers favorite tool in the shop.

He dreaded cleaning squeegees in the washout booth, now I never hear him complain.  He actually keeps coming to me to tell me how the chem is still clear.

It uses a pretty standard fram filter, semi large so not only will it last a while but it will be super simple to change.

Do you have any photos/videos of your unit and the mods?

Not on hand, but I can take some pics.

I followed a few guides and branched off of these.
