It may have been mentioned but not sure. Are you running alcohol or alcohol sub? We run a Speedmaster and run about the same amount of sheets you do. Our tank holds about 10 gallons. On a short production week we will change out water every two weeks on heavy production weeks especially when running uncoated ( seems higher in calcium) we will change out water every week. We run alcohol so flushing the entire system is not needed as often as the alcohol acts as a sterilizer and cleaner. We manually add alcohol to the system using the conductance meter as our guide. Normal for our solution is around 1200-1400 umhos. When it exceeds that we add more alcohol to keep it in that range. Hot days will tend to burn more alcohol. Press runs hotter and the alcohol evaporates faster. With all this said it does not make sense only one unit is the problem. We typically see the cyan unit plate go bad first on longer runs and see toning on the magenta when water is contaminated. If you soloution is as dark as you mentioned either you have a super tight budget on chemicals or your press operator is lazy. Lazy people work a lot harder then people that are meticulous.
