I am using Coolmist water based flood coolant, about 10 gallons. Mixed about twice as think as need, have not noticed residue so I kept it fairly thick.

I have an air bubbler that goes on a few hours a day and a SkimpySkimmer belt that goes on a couple hours a day and does a good job of taking out most of the oil, usually the flood coolant is almost clear/hazy.

Woke up today with a pretty nasty chest pain, I am wondering if it is linked to breathing the coolant. The coolant is about June vintage? I do not use the mill all that much once or twice a month. How long can/should coolant last? Have I gone over the reasonable time?

I am not using any stablizer, biocide, or ph balance right now...

Thanks rich.

Rich,

Since you are using a water base coolant (synthetic) the tank/shelf life is much longer than a semi-synthetic or soluble oil. Your are doing all the things right to maintain your coolant life so that is a big plus.

We suggest to our customers to drop the tank, clean it, and recharge it with fresh coolant every 6-8 months. In your case, I would have to suggest the same.

About your chest pain, everyone reacts differently when it comes to being in contact with coolant. Your chest pain could be a result in breathing too much vapor.

Hope this helps bud.
