Ordered Alde fluid from Elsie - what is this?

Photomom · June 2016

I noticed that my Alde fluid was just above minimum, so as a conscientious T@Bber I called Elsie at PV and ordered some. This is what she sent. The invoice says "ANTI-FREEZE - 55 gal BOILER".

I will follow up, but does anyone know - is this pure glycol, or has it already been diluted to the 60/40 mixture recommended by Alde? There are no labels or markings on the container. I will say that it was shipped speedily and packed very well.

Pretty sure it's what they fill with - Search and someone else posted a pic of what they got and someone else what they got directly from Alde...As I recall

@Photomom, It is already premixed. They receive in in bulk at the factory and use a generic container when they send it out. That's why there are no labels. Ordered some myself earlier in the year.

I have an email in and will report back. If I had to guess I'd say that they tapped their supply for this, and what they keep on hand is the ready to use mixture. It would be silly and unsafe for their employees to mix it individually for each trailer.

Yep, that is the glycol used for the Alde.

According to Ed Kauffman, what Little Guy supplies is pre-mixed. See this thread: http://tab-rv.vanillaforums.com/discussion/comment/27614/#Comment_27614

Excellent, thank you!

I heard back from Ed - the Alde fluid they supply is pre-diluted and ready to use. It was a little challenging to put it in the overflow tank but I put a couple ounces into a small plastic cup and was able to pour that in without spilling any.

Now, can anyone see a reason for us to pack Alde fluid for a couple week camping trip?

Photomom -> No

No. Photomom, I keep a small funnel just for the glycol, and use it to pour into a disposable water bottle. The water bottle is very easy to pour the glycol into the reservoir.

That is what I received after I had the Alde repaired from the RV dealer. Premixed as everyone has said.
