Question converted antifreeze

Read all the info but flushed the system 100% and went with the green stuff from NAPA. 100% then topped with well water, sorry no city water out here.
Any problems in the future or good to go.

Should be 50/50 mix with distilled water. If your well water is like it is here, that is the worst thing to put in there. Ours is full of sulphur, calcium from the caliche, and smells like spoiled eggs.
Your post sounds like you are joking!!!

Yeah I hate to say it but you should flush your system out and put in a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water. Personally I think the orange antifreeze is fine but the green works too. Use distilled water next time or a premix because tap/well water is going to put a lot of calcium deposits all over your cooling system, whether it's a Rover or not.

I did use well water but we have a rock well that is 650 ft deep and water is tested so no junk in it.
Mixed the 100% 50/50 with water. Will see how it likes it. Have a UG so if it is unhappy will redo it ASAP.

you should be fine, I would be more worried about replacing the old worn out hoses and clamps...
