Here is my leaking valve controller. It would appear to be a case of the antifreeze mixed at a ratio of 50:50 is destroying these valves, as well as causing a whole host of other problems. OAT anti-freeze should be between 25 and 30% mix, rather than MGR's 50% recommendation. In short: 50% is way too strong.
