I have some used hot water solar panels that have been out of service for 5 years( drained sitting on the roof). I have rebuilt them, but when I was flushed them out I got a bunch of gunk out of them. I flushed them out until the water ran clean, but I am assuming they still have some baked on anti-freeze on the inside of the pipes. I would like to get the inside of the collectors as clean as possible to have the most efficient heat transfer. Does anyone know of a liquid I can use to clean them out. Would boiler cleaner work, or some sort of mild acid? Thanks,
