Well, I may be wrong and I can admit that like a man, and other growers too. I’ll just say for now it’s the case of what you think is the cause when it’s the furthest from your mind. Let’s just say dirty dipping spoons and pipettes is asking for it as an extra costly mistake. Also may need to consider wearing nitrile 
Far far more than water, but that’s only perception. Needless to say Mike at Permaclone is more than 82 dollar collars, and he refunded me while we work this through. So those of you who’ve thought about those collars, the support that goes with them is incomparable. He comes across as in the business of pathogen control, guidance and removal, not just marketing collars. He has convinced me those collars will help get through it.
Anyway, 2 biggest take aways so far are. Have an extra measuring spoon set/ pipettes for cloning, separate Ph up and down bottles and never dip in product containers. It’s so much more easier to have this pathogen inside products and you won’t know it’s there. Anyway bottles I’ve suspected I dipped in, which thankfully aren’t too many are being replaced. For now cloner is going 4 days at 30ml bleach rinse cycle and saying hello RW cubes for the interim. This thread will continue to evolve into the solution so everyone will know what to do and what not to do.
