100% Water
95% Water & 5% Ethanol
75% Water & 25% isopropanyl
Any risks of damaging the hsf3 running ethanol/isopropanyl at the levels indicated above? Should I stick to 100% water if there is any potential for damage?
If there are any other non-toxic chemicals, please let me know.
Thanks

Pat,
I wouldn't recommend using iso-p due to the following write-up (long)

I think ethanol is a good althernative to methanol but more expensive. If you go a de-natured alcohol (95% ethanol +ethanol), it will not much cheaper. HFS-3 will tolerate ethanol and methanol. But depend on the denaturant use on the de-natured alcohol, I cannot guarantee the effect.
