8) Refill the cooling system with a solution of 5% acetic acid in distilled
water. Alternately, distilled white vinegar may be purchased at the
grocery store and used. Start the power supply and add more of the
solution to completely fill the system (reservoir about 80% full).
See Chapter 2-2, Cooling System Installation.
9) Operate the power supply and cooling system for at least 6 hours
with the acetic acid solution circulating through the laser head.
10) Completely drain the cooling system and blow the acetic acid
solution from the system.
11) Completely refill the cooling system with pure deionized water.
12) Operate the system for at least 2 hours. The deionization cartridge is
still bypassed. This flushes acetic acid and contaminants from the
system.

distilled water.
