Thermagent Extreme Temperature Eco-Friendly Thermal Fluid
I Ditched My Old Antifreeze for TermaGen and I'm Glad I Did
summarizeEditor's Summary
I recently swapped out my old antifreeze for TermaGen after a pro gave my system a thumbs down. He said my old stuff was past its prime, stunk to high heaven, and was slowly eating away at the system. I decided to take matters into my own hands and install the TermaGen Eco myself. It wasn't too bad, but getting air out of the system was a bit of a challenge. Still, it was worth it – I've been using it for five years with zero issues, and I'm glad I made the switch.
