Due neglect and mismanagement, the coolant in my lathe finally went bad after several months in the sump. I have to add here that I have all ingredients for setting up both the skimmer, as well as aerator, to run on two timers, something that I plan on doing soon. But as of now, I want to make sure that I properly remove old coolant.
As far as I understand, I should try to really get rid of the harmful bacterias that live in the present coolant. I have a easy to use water pump that I can use for this purpose.
So my plan was, pump out the coolant, rince the sump a couple of times with just hot water with some Simple Green, then put water with bleach for an hour, and rinse some more. Would that seem to be a good plan?
