Could be in your water bath, do you change and clean your waterbaths daily?

Hi Everyone,
   
  We are having a major problem with AFB, Giemsa and know Fe staining. On
the slides its self, outside the tissue, we are getting AFB, Giemsa and Fe
staining. The AFB is brought down to water by hand, AFB and Giemsa are
stained on a staining rack. Our stainer recently had the water filter
changed. This is occurring with all the Techs. We use charged slides for all
specials,
  Could this be in the paraffin? The charged slides?
  All suggestions are appreciated.
