Axiom tank is getting low

that70sdad

I am not well versed on the subject of plumbing. I have an axiom tank that is getting quite low. I have a container of glycol that was left by the plumber who installed the system,but I have no idea if I am supposed to add glycol? Or do I add water? I really don’t want to make a thousands dollar mistake. If anyone has a suggestion,it would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

is the glycol container you have labeled?

It could be a premixed version which you could dump in. Or a version that needs to be diluted.

I would take a small sample of the fluid in the tank to get an idea of the freeze protection. A simple antifreeze tester like this is close enough. I like the meter type best.

Then check the fluid in the container.

Is this a snowmelt, or do you have exposed piping prone to freeze? A vacation home?

I would not use glycol unless absolutely necessary.

How old is the system? It really should not be needing additional fluid added.

Call the plumber who installed the system. He will know exactly what you should do.
