It would work but antifreeze/glycol solutions are made for different temperature ranges and different piping material. Local Codes also may require a Eco-Friendly product to be used. A Backflow Prevention Device has to be installed to prevent possible contamination of the public water suppy. Different types of solutions may require different types of Backflow Preventers depending on the toxicity of the product used.

How do I add antifreeze to hot water heat system?

My heating system currently has antifreeze in it. The system is completely isolated from the house water system. A small RV water pump is used to fill the system and pressurize properly. I do not know the type of antifreeze used in the system. With complete isolation, automotive should be acceptable. I am investigating RV antifreeze as well. Automotive antifreeze is toxic. There must be no connection between the heating system and the potable water systems. Isolation valves are not acceptable.The usual FHW heating in a home or other building is connected to the water (drinking water) supply with a pressure valve at the boiler.Automotive antifreeze is deadly and can cause blindness even in small amounts.There is a special antifreeze (non toxic) for use in heating systems where a backup/mix/crossover with the drinking water could occur.You could also burn out your circulation pump by using the wrong antifreeze, which is very expensive to replace.
