Has anyone tried using their machine with just distilled water? reason for asking is I don't have the  cleaning fluid on hand & would like to listed to some new records I just got & don't want to wait .. If the other ultrasonic machines just use water im assuming this should do a decent job cleaning (until I order new cleaning solution)  
p.s. I never play new records without cleaning them first.
thanks

All ultrasonic cleaners work just fine with water. The vast majority of the cleaning is ultrasonic agitation. Cleaning solution does help, but a lot of what it does is to hold whatever dirt is removed in suspension so its easier to remove and doesn't just stick right back onto the record. 

Should work but I find that the added agent (I'm simply using spin clean fluid now) particularly helps with removing build up mould on old records
