[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1672421, member: 28965"] You 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.
