I was advised by someone at NRW to replace with 409a and have used it successfuly.

Cheers taz.

Hi Dave! I am in South Africa, we use R406a here to use in place of R600a. The whole deal of using R600a is to g et rid of the HFC and CFC gasses now being used, so rather stick to the R600a.

Dave,

why change from R600a?

This seems to be going backwards - eventually HFCs will go, its only a matter of time, but R600a along with all of the other environmentally friendly refrigerants like ammonia and CO2 will be the norm.
