    Acid away



    http://www.rectorseal.com/ac.htm#com...ted%20products

    Has anyone one used this?

    Does it work?

    Or should I steer clear?

    Thanks in advance

    I've used it in the past on small splits after a compressor change without problems; no guarantees though

    i've used it on small refrigeration systems , only because returing to site to change burnout driers and re-testing is uneconomical.
    don't forget to get the right one (POE type or Mineral Oil)

    The additive smells a lot like ammonia.

    Hi tiger, weve used it a fair bit, as aeb says saves changing burnout driers and weve ad no problems, although would check compressor manufacturer accept it, im not sure if maneurope accept it yet. well worth a try

    alsobeen using it for years with no problems on all sorts of systems as a precaution, seems a sensible thing to do just in case there is a small amount of acid etc,
