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.
Rad Clean — Standard
Radiator-only flush, for the brazing flux and solder debris three hot-water passes will never reach.
Why radiators get their own flush
Brazing flux and solder debris ship inside every radiator. Three hot-water passes will never reach them.
Shake 60 seconds in every axis, drain, repeat until clear.
Fill completely, cap, shake, flip at 30 minutes.
The radiator is bare metal now. Condition it with the loop.
