Got the answer, propylene glycol is propylene glycol and the difference falls in rust inhibitors and other additives. But so long as the rust inhibitors match up your good to go. In my case they are both the same and from what I've heard that it is what most companies use (Dipotassium Phosphate). The rep said that if they aren't matched one can cause the other to lesson and rust protection will drop. As far as the other additives it won't make a difference.

Very comforting to sort this out.

Thanks for the replies, I'm in Canada and can ship it to a northern state and can go get it but would sooner not as that sure adds up. They don't ship to Canada.....I've got calls into the companies so I guess I will wait and see. Just thought somebody might now an answer right off hand.

I have cryo-tek-100 in my system now but can't get it and need to add some. It is Propylene Glycol can I add another brand of Propylene Glycol?

Thanks

I was looking for comments on Polar Boilers made in Manitoba and don't see a forum catagory for them. Can one be added. For now I'll post a general question about it in the general discussion and see what happens.

Thanks

Empyre / Looking at purchasing a pro 400

« on: May 25, 2013, 10:43:59 PM »

Been burning wood for 20 years in wood stoves with great success but built a 42 by 42 foot shop and put an electric boiler ( to expensive to run) in it, with an insulated floor and heat pipes. Don't won't to put a wood stove in there so looking at the pro 400 series to do the house and two shops and glad I found this site to quiz before I buy.  What is  the groups  take on the pro series.  I use pile of average seasoned wood that is not stacked and is 20' X 10' x 8' to heat my 2000 square foot house, a 700 square foot shop and my cabin when there.
I live in Manitoba, Canada where the weather gets a little nippy you might say. Will I spend more time putting up wood  or less with this boiler? Any all comments welcome

Thanks
Don
