will this work in a 50/50 mix of car antifreeze and keep life forms out?

Yes it will. Its a natural biocide. You can always add a biocide to the distilled water and also add the silver. You should be fine. Always replace water every year.

Car antifreeze already has built in antimicrobial properties. If your using this in a PC. Assuming your not doing sub ambient cooling and not mixing aluminum and copper, straight distilled water is better. Glycol can leave deposits and gunk. Plus it will stain your lines. I have even heard of it breaking down acetl top blocks.

I have been using this with distilled water for 6+ yrs now. There's not a single life form in the water loop. I used white tube, not clear tube. The reservoir looks pristine.

It is not designed to. The unit works by blowing air through a venturi valve that creates a vacuum in the cooling system (to the tune of 24-26"). If there is much coolant in the system, it will blow it out the venturi resulting in quite a mess. (it even sucked some residual coolant out of mine after I'd drained it) The UView works very well for its intended purpose, I just don't think your application is it. If you know you have a leak, it will help you find it. It also works great for refilling the system. You suck the empty system to vacuum, flip a couple valves, and it'll suck a gallon of antifreeze dry in a few seconds.

The exact ratio I don't know however if used on a passenger American made car, you will be safe to use Two[2] bottles . Always follow the instructions on the container and make sure you start off with a radiator that is filled with a clean and proper mixture of water and antifreeze .It worked for me and dropped my water temp gauge 10 degrees .

I have no idea. The waterpumps I have seen have sealed bearings that are protected from the water/antifreeze. Use at your own risk. Mixing this with antifreeze is a new experiment. Good luck ! ( do you have an extra engine, just in case?)

I used this product on a 2000 Dodge DURANGO that had [has] a small leak in the Heater Core. For weeks after I used the product I still noticed the smell of Coolent coming from the heater but now there is no smell occuring. If you follow directions there is a good possibility that this product will work.

yes it will work fine. add one can then check how cold it is. must go below 60 deg. if not put in one more can 2 cans should do it. but buy 3 cans always have one on hand. for next time if it gets low again. (GOOD STUFF)

That would depend on the quality of the cooler, if the cooler is air tight and can keep ice for eight hours, then this product will work for you. In a 3/4 inch styrofoam $2.00 cooler . . . No!

I answered this question above.....I wouldn't recommend a small amount of antifreeze because I don't think it would work. You wouldn't fill your windshield washer tank with a small amount of antifreeze....it would freeze. Just use straight windshield washer antifreeze and you shouldn't have a problem. Ps great bag I use it constantly.

For a 6 cyl car I would use the whole bottle. My car was under 2 gallons in coolant capacity, so I only used half a bottle.

Camco makes several different antifreezes which may be better suited for your needs. I suggest looking at Camco 30054 Pool Antifreeze Concentrate. It is cheaper and the mix ratio is the same.

Ur going to make a really big mess of the filter and inside, but I sucked a lot of automotive fluids up just not huge amounts at a time and it seems to do ok. There might be something out there more directly suited to that specific task though.

I wouldn't use it as a preventative since it might put particulates in the coolant I would personally use it only if there is a leak in the system

We use the boiler antifreeze in a RV agua-hot system. Can't say if it would work for you or not.

You can add full strength but you should mix it about 50/50 with distilled water (otherwise you're just throwing away money). Also it doesn't have to be exactly 50/50 depending on where you live. I live in southwest TX and I mixed around 60% water/40% coolant. The coolant is more for the cold temps. So you might be able to get away with just distilled water

there in no mix ratio. just put it in your radiator or coolant run off tank and you are good to go. I use this in all my cars. great addition to your coolant......

It should, but don't put it in a waterproof section. It needs to breathe, since it works by evaporation.

I believe it would. Spray it on and then hose off the foam. It will foam up and carry away the things plugging the radiator. It is an acid so wear gloves and eye protection. Make sure to have good ventilation when using
