BE cautious when saying mix it yourself out loud.  The standards (both 13 and 
25) require only factory premixed solutions to be used.  You're also suppose to 
drain the system then refill it.  Combine that with the cost of back flow 
preventers and expansion chambers and AF system are not very appealing.
