It's supplied concentrated. Just dilute according to the conditions (should be on the label).

np
its dilute 1l water 1l coolant so 3 bottles makes 6l
yeah just leave the cap off their self bleeding once the engine is up to temp the thermostat will open and you will see the water coming back to the bottle from the small pipe off the head

recomended to use distilled water and not tap water for the cooling system.
