The KOOL-IT® Electrolysis Indicator™ is the simple to use and  easy to understand solution for diagnosing the excess stray current levels in cooling systems, commonly called “electrolysis”. It’s the perfect tool to visually diagnose this destructive and poorly understood condition, so common in today's cars and trucks.

 

Features:

v Diagnoses electrolysis instantly

v Easy to use and understand

v Works in place of expensive meters

 

Directions For Use:

Step 1- Determine if electrolysis is present

v Remove the radiator cap from the radiator OR you can also test for electrolysis in the reservoir if the radiator is not accessible

by first removing the reservoir cap. CAUTION: Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.

v Make sure all accessories are turned off.

v Start engine.

v Attach the alligator clip at the end of the black wire to the negative terminal of the battery or to another viable chassis ground.

v Insert the tip of the KOOL-IT Electrolysis Indicator into the coolant via the radiator or reservoir.

CAUTION: Make sure all wires and the KOOL-IT Electrolysis Indicator are clear of the belts and all rotating accessories.

v Upon contact with the coolant the KOOL-IT Electrolysis Indicator will power up with both the red and green LED's illuminated for

three seconds. Leave the illuminated KOOL-IT Electrolysis Indicator in the coolant at all times while it determines the level of electrolysis

present in the system & only one LED remains lit.

v Check the KOOL-IT Electrolysis Indicator. If the green LED is lit the system is in satisfactory condition with electrolysis below <0.3 volt.

If the LED is red the system has electrolysis above >0.3 volt and is unacceptable. Read action to take below.

v Remove the KOOL-IT Electrolysis Indicator from the coolant, disconnect the alligator clip, and replace the radiator cap (or reservoir cap).

v The KOOL-IT Electrolysis Indicator will power down in three seconds and reset after removal from the coolant. Rinse the submerged

portion of the KOOL-IT Electrolysis Indicator to clean and then store properly for its next use.

 

 

Action to take:

v Green LED (GOOD) - No action is required. Levels of electrolysis are in an acceptable range. Add KOOL-IT Supreme Radiator

Treatment (P/N: 96001) to protect the system and extend the life of the coolant.

 

v Red LED (BAD) - Electrolysis (Stray current) is above acceptable levels. First determine if the coolant is new or old. If the coolant

is old, proceed by flushing it out using KOOL-IT Radiator Flush (P/N: 95020) and refill with new coolant. Re-test the coolant by repeating

the instructions for testing with all electrical loads off. If the red LED illuminates again there is certainly an electrical system fault

or bad ground that is introducing destructive levels of current to the cooling system. This indicates there's potentially damage already to the

radiator and heater core and they should be checked. Proceed to find the source of the stray current ideally before it causes more damage.

Once the electrical load(s) causing the stray current has been fixed add KOOL-IT Supreme Radiator Treatment (P/N: 96001) to protect the

system and extend the life of the clean coolant.
