I should be close to filling my system by the end of the weekend, I'll need to flush my anhydrous tanks a few times.Just wanting to know what people are useing for water treatment . Was thinking about useing what new horizon offers, not sure if I need the cleaner and the inhibitor (102 and 101). I have an EKO60 with 2000 gallons tied to it. Found a couple of things on search, just wanted to see what else is out there.
 
I didnt use the cleaner, just the inhibitor. Worked well for 5 seasons. I just drained my system to replumb and had very little corrosion or deposits in piping. You can have boiler water tested as well - Garn owners can speak to this.

Econoburn recommends 8 way by reactor seal. I added it to mine at the recommened rate (1 qt to 30gallons) it is good stuff but is quite expensive when you have to treat 2000 gallons. I use it in all my natural gas or propane boiler installs as well.
 
With all the bleeding for air I just did, I think you'd want to make sure everything is hunky dory first.
