The non-corrosive stuff that was talked about is methanol antifreeze mixed with water. It is not very expensive, it's about $4 a gallon of the methanol, but you only need a couple gallons to mix w/all the water. It's not corrosive.

I think you can use regular antifreeze too I guess, but the dealer I work at uses that Methanol that they buy in 55 gallon drums. Hope this helps.
