cleaning fluid for the gem dandy record cleaner


I've just cleaned about 60 records with my Gem Dandy, which I absolutely love.  It restored records that were not able to be cleaned by an ultrasonic cleaner.  I'm just about out of the fluid it comes with and I would like to figure a cheaper but still effective solution to use.  I've searched this forum but I can't see any recommendations for diy fluid that's as strong as the solution that comes with the gem dandy.  Most seem to be for use with an ultrasonic or vacuum style cleaner.  As I use hydraulic pressure to clean & rinse the record, I can use a very strong cleaner that maybe would leave a residue on other style cleaning systems.  So far, the best recommendation I've found is https://www.alconox.com/product/liquinox.  Anyone have better suggestions?

I make my own.  800 ml distilled water, 200ml 99.9% pure anhydrous Isopropyl alcohol, 5ml Ilford Ilfotol wetting agent.

This works as well or better than anything I've tried, and is very inexpensive.
