The product looks interesting, though am bit concerned about Ph levels if used in a water cooling loop. Also, doesn't look to have any algeacidal properties?

Did some searching here in the US, seems the automotive glycol refractors are going for $100-125 (70 quid plus vat) on average. I'll check with a local high volume shop on where they buy theirs (though I'm guessing it will be an high cost version). Not sure what a racer would consider inexpensive? I think the sactioning body should be responsible for test equiptment, part of compliance? I see your point for convincing them that these modern chems are safe when properly used, and testing for contamination/glycol presence is not prohibitive.
