Most 'distilled' bottled water at the grocery store or pharmacy is decent quality -- usually a repackage of a name brand. It should all work just fine.
This is consistent with my findings. Records previously cleaned with Disc Doctor cause it, but not rapidly. Those previously cleaned with Mint or VPI very little effect, but those cleaned with Premier affect the solution quite a lot.
My unit will periodically not start the rear two brushes unless I tap on the black gear right next to them (bottom rear of water compartment). It happens very frequently with new solution, but not so much after a couple of dozen records have been cleaned. Unfortunately, you have to get into a habit of waiting after the cycle starts to make sure the rear brushes start. This is not an issue of seating, it's binding somewhere and I haven't taken it apart to figure out where.
I find this too, but the drops aren't caused by only the high solution level. I find that records that are 'cupped' (not flat, but bowed slightly in or out at the center) will also cause this. Whenever I see drops, I just set the wet side up on the Mofi sleeve and let it air dry.
Nice to know! I've often wondered if ultrasonic was working. Sometimes you can see a little steam-like mist emanate from that area when the water is done filling (if the light is just right). I've taken that to be caused by the ultrasonic agitation of the water.
Good info, Larry. Thanks.
