Title: Price Of Boiler Antifreeze For AquaHots
Post by: Travelin' Man (RIP) on November 12, 2015, 08:20:10 pm
Is this about as good a deal as one can expect for the pink stuff?

Amazon.com: Camco Mfg Gal Boiler Antifreeze (Pack Of 6) 30027 Auto Anti-Freez... (http://www.amazon.com/Camco-Boiler-Antifreeze-30027-Anti-Freeze/dp/B001B13F6S/ref=sr_1_5?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1447371301&sr=1-5&refinements=p_n_feature_keywords_browse-bin%3A3931441011)

Try your local Camping World.  I vaguely recall being able to purchase a concentrate there.  I know they sell the "regular strength" gallons as well but not sure of the price (it will be with the winterizing antifreeze - be sure to choose the correct jug).

(winterizing antifreeze, boiler coolant, and potty chem are the rare things we actually buy at Camping World....)

T-Man,

Excellent price especially if free shipping is true.  I noticed down lower something to the effect the high shipping was due to heavy weight, I know about that.

The gallon bottle will have the words "Read to Use" on the table.  But I assure you Aqua Hot wants the gallon size cut 50/50 with distilled water giving 2 gallons ready to use.

The quart concentrate is cut 1 quart concentrate plus 2 quarts distilled water giving 3 quarts ready to use.

The ready-mixed boiler coolant is to be cut again at 50/50, and the concentrate at 66.6/33.3.
I wonder why the different ratios for the two?
What cut do they recommend for the Ethylene Glycol?

Usually a 50-50 mix, that's about -35 -40 below F,  I use distilled water for the mix....
