Interesting topic. I have a fluidyne radiator in my car installed by the PO several years ago. No leaks at all at this point. I bought a zinc anode and plan on putting it in on the next flush:Here is the one I bought from Amazon
Are most people using distilled water mixed 50/50 with coolant?
I seem to recall reading either on the PI forum or in the newsletter that tap water is better.

I just pulled the anode for checking, and it shows no wear, which I
attribute to the use of soft water (I have a softener in my house) and
1/3 propylene glycol.
I cleaned it with an abrasive scotch brite and inserted it again. I'll
check again in a couple of years.
I have not had to replace the magnesium anode in my boiler either, and
it has been in use since 2004. It has an indicator that turns red when
it needs to be replaced, and it is still white, which probably indicates
that the water is soft.

Interesting topic. I have a fluidyne radiator in my car installed by
