* These products may be used to adjust the pH level of the hydronic system, but on occasion may not resolve the pH is

sue. In these cases it is recommended to flush the system and refill with untreated water and new boiler manufacturer

approved antifreeze suitable for Aluminum heat exchangers.

ImPORTAnT

: Regardless of antifreeze or inhibitors used, be sure to follow the antifreeze manufacturer’s instructions

for use, safe handling and storage of their products. Refer to the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) provided by the

antifreeze manufacturer for potential hazards and first aid procedures for exposure or ingestion.

Antifreeze Testing Services:

Each of the recommended antifreeze manufacturers have developed a sampling pro

gram available to the homeowner and contractor. Contact the antifreeze manufacturer regarding their sampling plan

procedure. Consult the antifreeze manufacturer for details on sample requirements and recommendations.
