You need to change the water at least once per week.
Otherwise the tank will develop microbial growth. More
frequent water changes will depend on how many records
you clean and how dirty they are. A simple water change
indication is water clarity: if the water is unclear, you’ll want
to change the water.

Yes, you can use your own cleaning fluid. Avoid pH extreme solutions, such as very high acidity or very
alkaline chemicals. Also avoid strong organic solvents, as these will likely damage the vinyl.
