Hello - I am the thread starter, but i created a duplicate account..
Yes I submerged the entire print in a removal station. I changed the water before i submerged the print. The PVA was also fresh out of the box, and came out transparent from the nozzle.
The print stayed in water for about 24 hours, and the dirty parts were still a little "slimy", what is the recommended dissolving time?

I've never seen pva get that bad. Did you submerge the entire print in water? For how long? These should all dissolve away.
So most problems with PVA have to do with humidity. Water gets in the filament. Do you have the MS (material station)? How long as the PVA been in the material station (if you have one)?
You may need to dry your pva. You can tell when pva is wet as you see steam coming out of the nozzle and you can hear it popping and sizzling (boiling water). Also the pva is foamy white. Like snow. If the pva is dry it comes out of the nozzle clear and transparent.
