Why radiators get their own flush

Brazing flux and solder debris ship inside every radiator. Three hot-water passes will never reach them.

Hot water first
Three passes

Shake 60 seconds in every axis, drain, repeat until clear.

Then Rad Clean
One hour

Fill completely, cap, shake, flip at 30 minutes.

Then SysPrep
On the first fill

The radiator is bare metal now. Condition it with the loop.

02

Use it in five steps

  1. 1

    Cap with plastic fittings

    Plastic caps and o-rings only. Set metal fittings aside.

  2. 2

    Three hot distilled passes

    A third full, shake 60 s in every axis, drain, repeat.

  3. 3

    Mix and fill

    Half a bottle into 32 oz of distilled. Fill the radiator completely.

  4. 4

    One hour, flip at 30 min

    Shake occasionally so both ends get contact.

  5. 5

    Drain, rinse twice, dry

    Then run SysPrep on the first fill.

The full story

A radiator cleaning solution that lets you effectively scrub a radiator interior without risking the seals, acrylic or other components elsewhere in the loop. Dilute, fill, cap, shake, and leave it an hour. It lifts the flux residue and solder debris that ship inside every brazed radiator from the factory. Bottle only, use your own plastic fill-port fittings to seal the radiator while it works.
