I flushed it with the 50/50 mixture for an hour and then replaced it with straight distilled water for a second flush. I'd never leave that in the system that long.

My father had one of the first residential central air system back in the 50s - water tower and all. Every year he ran a vinegar and water solution through the "loop" to clean it out. Some methods have been around for a long time.
