Built for rebuilding rather than building. Rad Clean flushes the radiators and removes chemical buildup, System Reboot clears dye remnants and residue throughout the loop, and PrimoPrep corrects the pH imbalance copper introduces while preparing the system for a mixed-metal environment. Water-based, environmentally responsible, and safe on plastics, rubbers and acrylic.
