Coolant filter DCA

I did the same thing regarding the generator --- same reason --- standardized on one coolant.

Hi Andy M,
The coolant sensor is located near the bottom of the overflow tank.

On my coach?

My 2004 DSDP was 3 years old when I changed my coolant.
I couldn't find the full strength Final Charge in my area, just the 50/50 mix. It seemed a bit pricey to pay for 50% water.
I called Cummins, customer service, to see if I could go with Prestone 5 year/50,000 mile and distilled water. They said no problem. The one thing they said was to add the DCA with each gallon, instead of dumping it in all at one time.
I spliced a flush kit into one of the heater hoses, flushed it, changed the coolant filter. I have the strips and check it every 4 months.
I intend on changing the coolant every 3 years.
I do the filter every year.
I was told that the packet in the filter only takes a short time to get into the coolant, they didn't seem to think it was slow release.

Andy M,
Your coach could be different. Looking at the bottom/lower part of the over flow tank should be easy to do. It is a logical place to put this sensor. If not there, I have no other thoughts where it would be. There are 1990's coaches in the club chapters we belong to. Different chassis manufacturers. All have the low coolant sensor somewhere on the overflow tank.
