WARNING
General Guidelines When Using 
Antifreeze
Use only antifreeze products 
• 
recommended for use with 
aluminum boilers, as listed in this 
addendum.  See Table 1.
Continuous addition of make-up water 
• 
will dilute power of antifreeze and 
change buffers ability to maintain pH.
Flush old antifreeze from system. 
• 
Flush boiler and system separately.
Do not use antifreeze unless required.
• 
Antifreeze, if needed, must be of 
• 
type listed on next page due to 
their operational characteristics of : 
type 356 T6 aluminum at operating 
temperatures between 20°F (-6.7°C) 
and 250°F (121°C). (See Table 1 for 
allowable products.)
Always clean system prior to 
• 
using antifreeze as stated in this 
supplement.
Be sure to follow antifreeze 
• 
manufacturer’s instructions for use, 
safe handling and storage of their 
products. Refer to MSDS (Material 
Safety Data Sheets) provided by 
antifreeze manufacturer for potential 
hazards and first aid procedures for 
exposure or ingestion.
Antifreeze will raise pH of hydronic 
• 
solution in heating system above 
recommended level due to corrosion 
inhibitors. Solution must be treated to 
maintain a pH within recommended 
level. Follow antifreeze manufacturer’s 
instructions to adjust pH. 
If system has leaked, water and antifreeze 
• 
chemistry will need to be adjusted. To avoid 
damage to boiler, check pH and chemistry 
of boiler solution and consult the antifreeze 
manufacturer for recommendations. 
It is recommended that pH reading be 
• 
taken annually, and adjusted as necessary. 
Follow antifreeze/inhibitor manufacturer’s 
instructions for details on how to adjust pH. 
Antifreeze solutions can break down over 
• 
time. Failure to check antifreeze chemistry 
on annual basis  may result in accelerated 
corrosion of boiler and other system 
components. Consult with antifreeze 
manufacturer for recommendations.
Use of antifreeze in any boiler will reduce 
• 
heating capacity as much as 10-20%. Take 
into consideration when sizing heating 
system, pumps and expansion tank. Consult 
antifreeze manufacturer’s literature for 
specific information on reduced capacity. 
Using antifreeze manufacturer’s instructions, 
• 
determine freezing temperature needed and 
use correct amount of antifreeze. Never 
exceed 50% antifreeze by volume. 
Boiler operating pressure must remain below 
• 
15 psi for antifreeze solutions that specify 
a maximum of 250°F (121°C). Otherwise, 
increase system operating/tank pressure to 
20 psig.  Note: Refer to expansion tank 
manufacturer instructions for adjusting 
tank pressure.
