For those whose ALDE HE3020 caravan boilers has ALDE G13 blue, 2 year antifreeze due for renewal and are wanting to change to the 5 year magenta 50/50 ready mix/ ready to use this item will be of interest...ALDE TECHNICAL emailed me yesterday, in response to a straight question I asked them, and they said that. COMMA GG40 Xstream 5 year antifreeze meets the full spec of the ALDE brand product and is safe to use to protect your heating system boiler HE3020 ....If you know what your doing and can do this job yourself then the savings are excellent for instance the ALDE G13 is most readily available in 1 litre bottles at around £9.00 and say your caravan has a system antifreeze capacity of 15 litres then its expensive....The COMMA GG40Xstream comes in 5 litre containers, is 50/50 and ready for use and , depending where you buy it, is around £24 per 5 litres so 3 x 5 litres needed and therefore is just under £5 a litre ...If you use a mobile service engineer he may be prepared to only charge you the labour cost if you are supplying the material...Food for thought if you want to try reducing your maintenance boosts.
