Alde Glycol fluid recommendation

Member Posts: 120
I am well aware the this horse has been beaten to death, but what is an alternate Glycol for the Alde. The "Century Chemical TF-1 Heat Transfer Fluid" listed on Amazon has gone up to 41.00 per Pre-Mixed gallon and is unavailable. After reviewing untold pages on this site I am unable to find any of the recommendations listed. Surely the is something out there. Help!

The one you found on amazon is the correct Century fluid and I just put a gallon in my cart since I need some. Says it is available.2021 T@b 400 BD "Vixen Gail"

Are you adding more glycol to what you already have in the Alde, or are you flushing it out and replacing it. Century CF1 was the glycol being used up until Jan this year, when a switch was made to a better fluid, see https://tab-rv.vanillacommunity.com/discussion/12826/alde-truma-changing-glycol-brand-in-new-models-not-a-recall#latest
Alde and nüCamp do not recommend mixing different Alde heat transfer fluids, I would stick with the previously recommended Century TF-1 or switch to the new fluid being used by nüCamp now for the best Alde system protection.

Denny16 Since I live in "OMG hot" Texas I rarely use my Alde for heat. I do use it occasionally for hot water. So, I am just topping it off for now.

How much @BogieMeister? I have a spar gallon of the Century TF-1, I could sell you half a gallon for $20 plus shipping, if that helps.
