Directions for Use
The sump life of this coolant, as with any other coolant will be greatly enhanced if charged to a clean system. You can utilize JTM's Sump Cleaner to disinfect your sump. KOOLRite 2540 can be metered through automatic dispensing systems available from JTM. Contact your representative regarding cleaning procedures and dispensers. Always add the KOOLRite 2540 concentrate to the water and not the water to the concentrate. Proper maintenance in removing extraneous oils is beneficial for extended coolant life. The concentration can be monitored by refractive index.
