System Repair

Hercules Boiler and Heating System Repair Products are formulated to repair steam, hot water and hydronic boilers. These repair products seal and repair cracks or leaks.

System Cleaners

Hercules system cleaners are crucial for maintaining a system. It is recommended that any system, whether new or existing, be thoroughly cleaned before using Cryo-Tek products. Any system contaminated with dirt and other materials reduces efficiency and wears the system prematurely.

Anti-Freeze

Freeze protection is important in all systems. Water can freeze at 32 degrees and can cause pipes to burst if there is a power outage. Adding an inhibited virgin propylene glycol antifreeze to a boiler can prevent those problems and provides freeze protection. Installing inhibited virgin propylene glycol into the hydronic system is also a requirement to maintain warranty by leading boiler manufacturers.

System Testing

Without proper maintenance, boilers corrode and become less efficient, leading to additional service calls and a shorter life span for the appliance. Therefore, regular system testing is crucial to maintaining a long-lasting system. Hercules offers disposable test strips and a refractometer to maintain a balanced system.

Keep Systems Clean and Operating Efficiently

Plumbers have come to trust the Hercules offering to provide the highest quality of plumbing products.

      Q:I’m looking at the home depot page and I am assuming this is premixed for -27 f? So I could just put this in straight?

      Answer This Question

      A:  If you are putting this in your car radiator, you should not use 100% antifreeze. There needs to be a combination of water plus the antifreeze. Consult your car manual to see what the ratio is. I was told by mechanics to never use nothing but pure antifreeze in a radiator, but you might want to confirm that with others.

        A:  I used it straight out of the container. Directions were on the container

        by|Apr 16, 2020

          A:  This is a premix of 45% Virgin Propylene Glycol / 55% water straight out of the container. The freeze protection you are looking for would determine if you needed to add water for dilution.

                  The only problem I had was while I was at the store none of the 5 employees I spoke with were able to find the product. I had to return to the store after I was notified an hour after I left that the product was found. Cost me time and money

                  Cryo- tek part no. 35253
                  I bought 4 of these going by the picture showing Cryo-tek AG which is 95% antifreeze. what I got was part no. 35253 which is premixed 45%antifreeze as does the description. The picture shows Cryo-tek AG and the correct part no.35282. When I check my account and purchases, it lists that I bought Cryo-tek AG oatey part no. 35253 and a picture of Cryo-tek AG. so check the bottle, home depot pictures and part numbers are mixed up. if you want actual concentrated 95% polypropylene gycol get the bottle that says AG otherwise you will get pre-mixed product and not as strong.

                    It does what it supposed to do: it lowers the freezing point of coolant and prevents corrosion. Because it's based upon propylene glycol, it has the added benefits of being non-toxic and provides lubrication for pumps.
