H2O injector nozzle keeps plugging up

I love my aquamist 1S but since July I've had to clean out the nozzle three times and I'm getting a little irritated. The clogs form in the gizmo that generates swirl to the fluid at the bottom of the nozzle. The clogs look like little salt crystals and I suspect that they form from either a) some reaction with the brass or b) heat causing the fluid to evaporate in the nozzle. I'm using windshield washer fluid but obviously not the right one. The fluids I've tried all contain various amounts methanol and are either a nice bright blue or a light purple. I try to avoid any fluid that contains detergents but the labels are so nebulous that I don't know what I'm getting. So can someone suggest a brand of fluid that won't clog my nozzle?
Should I get a flow meter so I know when it's time to clean out the nozzle?
