Mate I've been through 250L of water today and I have used maybe half a can of coke full if ya get me.
Just a squirt in the barrel is enough I found.
If I didn't add it. Next house jets froze while PUMPING!!!!! Lol

Lovely mate. Really lovely.
After I started using it the jets never froze once. And water didnt freeze on sills.
It was a hard day though as I had to be carful where I was leaving the water and it would probably freeze. Had todo a few windows trad and doors.
Top job!!!!

You may find this interesting. See safety notes at the end.

The main concerns about Isopropanol safety relate to its flammability and the potential hazards it can present to the user through exposure via ingestion, skin contact or inhalation. Due to its highly Flammable nature, it is vital that Isopropanol is kept away from potential sources of ignition including static electricity, naked flames and sparks. Isopropanol is relatively non-Toxic and therefore is often considered to be a safer alternative to other Solvents such as Methanol or Ethylene Glycol.
However, long-term contact with the skin is very drying and causes de-fatting of the skin so protective gloves should always be worn when working with or handling this material. Isopropanol has a strong odour and should always be used in a well-ventilated area or under fume extraction where large quantities are being handled.
Isopropanol poisoning can occur from absorption, inhalation or ingestion and symptoms of Isopropanol poisoning include headaches, nausea and vomiting, dizziness and flushing. As Isopropanol causes depression of the central nervous system, long term exposure can result in anaesthesia and even coma.
Full details of Isopropanol Safety and Isopropanol Hazards, including actions to be taken in the event of a spillage and how to handle waste material, can be found on the pages of this website entitled Isopropanol Safety and Isopropanol Hazards.
