I'm tumbling 85 rounds of brass and pennies together and changing water every day for over a week and still get dirty water . does the barrels go bad
is that what he is asking about? if the ss pins go bad? if so then I misunderstoodThe stainless media should last almost forever... I say almost because eventually you'll lose some pins.

I've tumbled the same brass for two weeks I know it comes out black it's that it never took this long to finishYou should change the water, soap and LemiShine every time you tumble a batch of cases. The black water is the carbon removed from the cases.
The amount of soap can vary by your water hardness. If the water at the end of the tumbling time does not feel soapy you need to add more soap at the start of tumbling. The soap holds the dirt in suspension and from clinging to the cases.
I have a STM tumbler with a rubber liner and some of the blackness can come from a rubber liner. My directions tell me to tumble the new pins by themselves to wear down their sharp ends so the pins do not scratch the brass. My directions also say nothing about adding copper plated aluminum pennies with my cases.
Note, in a sonic cleaner the water also turns black from removing the carbon with vibrating water molecules with dish soap and LemiShine.
l had this tumbler for over three yearsI've tumbled the same brass for two weeks I know it comes out black it's that it never took this long to finish
you tumbled the same batch of brass for 336 hours straight through? is there any brass left?I've tumbled the same brass for two weeks I know it comes out black it's that it never took this long to finish

I think we are misunderstanding something.
as far as the FART drum-- it is rubber lined, if you use the wrong mixture of solvents it can start to decompose the rubber interior-- as per their instructions you should only use their brass cleaning solution ( 4 cap fulls per drum) to be safe
when i clean old range pick up brass the rubber in the drum can have some contaminants that cling to it and I just run the cleaning solution and pins in clean water a few times to clean the "muck" out of it
