The corrosion inhibitors will prevent the nasties in the loop as well.
About 10 to 15% is all it will need.
To clean the parts that have been gunked up, distilled vinegar works great! Even mix it up to flush through the loop. |
I was even thinking the stuff I use in my boiler at home. It's also Propylene, but I think also has anti-microbial additives in addition to the anti-corrosives.

Get colored tubing next time man, you don't deserve to deal with this kind of mess, no one does.

I did the Dye bomb about 4 years ago, the UV effect was pretty cool while it lasted, but could care less about coloring now. I want functionality.
