it's obvious that these gentlemen have never installed these systems for real a professional plumber will know what I'm talking about

Well how to confuse the customer ! There is nothing fancy about bleeding air from a solar system. Always set the pressure vessel at 5 psi less than the system pressure and this should be with the system cold. You can buy a 12 volt dc gear pump very cheaply and leave it plumed in. A golf trolley battery is very easy to obtain, one that cannot run 18 holes, golf shops give them away !

Anti freeze is not better than water as heat transfer. Anti - freeze over priced water £100 for 20 lts , joke.
