You are supposed to only use distilled water for the cooling system but I have a reverse osmosis water treatment system which is fine for me...so you'd need one gallon of the concentrate and one gallon of distilled water to yield two gallons of 50/50 mix. You can also buy the 50/50 premixed which I sometimes do for topping off or partial drain refills but it's a bit more expensive.
