Fluids for VPI cleaner -- any horror stories?


I'm replacing my Nitty Gritty with a VPI and notice that VPI warns against using any fluid but their own. I've used Torumat for years and have a good supply left. Has anyone had bad consequences from failing to heed VPI's warning? Thanks.

I have a VPI 16.5, so it does not keep a reservoir of fluid to be used. I've used combinations of VPI, isopropyl alcohol followed by Record Research vinyl wash. So far, no problems. BUT -- I'm now trying homebrew ideas, tired of paying the big bucks. Does anybody know about sources for deionized water, which is often touted. Someone even told me that Record Research folks use "triple" deionized water. What's with that? Isn't deionized already "DE-"?
