Two years ago I broke down and bought a 40W Chinese laser. I am not tech wizard but I got it working and like the results - I use it for simple pen engraving - Names etc.
The laser is water cooled and you have a bucket/container of water and drop a small pump in it and it circulates water through the laser. Here is the problem I am having - after a few days the water turns slimy- I mean slimy - still clear but slimy! I am concerned whether or not this is hurting the laser? Also are there any options for me rather than a bucket of water? Are there any simple fixes?
Thanks for any suggestions!
