Hey Guys!

I'm working on getting things ready for the arrival of my laser and wanted to know how much liquid the cw5000 holds so I can pick up enough distilled water and anit-freeze.

Thanks.

Never mind I just found the user manual on line :D and it's 6 liters if anyone else was curious.

Walt;
I have used propylene glycol and water-50/50 mix and added a touch of green dye to make it visible. No problems in 18 months of operation and had to add water just once.
Best Regards,
