Comments about Red Line WaterWetter:
I run Water Wetter with straight water in my Mazda RX7 that is used in road racing. I have raced with and without it and I can tell a difference. It has helped keep the temperature down during long track sessions. I worried about corrosion as I do not run antifreeze, but so far the radiator still looks new inside.
I switch the car to 50/50 antifreeze/water during offseason storage as this product provides no freeze protection.
For good measure, I also run Water Wetter in my street cars but notice no appreciable difference in temperature. A properly working cooling system rarely operates at full capacity in a street car, so I wasn't expecting a drop in temperature anyway. For the cost, it is probably not bad insurance.

Comments about Red Line WaterWetter:
This product is a little more costly than competitors, but the only two brands I really recognize for "additives" is usually Amsoil and Redline. Redline is race proven and easy to find at the local store.

Comments about Red Line WaterWetter:
This product will work best with Pure H2O (or the higher the better)
if you live in some hot area that it will never go near freezing point. use 20/80 (EG/H2O) with this product. or just use 100% Distilled H2O. it will drop your temp by 15 degrees.
Make sure your Radiator is up to task tho. Cuz this product will increase the Water's Ability to carry heat, so if your Radiator is not up to task ...
Also, if you use 50/50 (or close to 50/50), just save your money. you dont need to buy this.

Q:
Does this have ethylene glycol?Asked on 12/31/2011 by Anonymous1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
No, this part Red Line WaterWetter, part number 80204 manufactured by Red Line does not contain Ethylene Glycol. it is a unique agent for cooling systems that doubles the wetting ability of water, Rust and corrosion protection allows for use of straight water in racing or reduced antifreeze levels in warm climates, Improves heat transfer and reduces cylinder head temperature, Use one bottle for most passenger cars and light trucks, treats 3 to 5 gallons or 13.2 to 15.9 liters. Vehicles with larger cooling systems should use two bottles. Small cooling systems should use 1oz (3 to 4 capfuls) per quart, Compatible with new or used antifreeze (including DEX-COOLTM and long-life versions) to improve the heat transfer of ethylene and propylene glycol systems, Satisfies ASTM D2570 and ASTM D1384 corrosion tests for glycol-based antifreezes.Answered on 1/1/2012 by Aaron from AAP
Q:
can you run this year round with anti freeze and not have any problems. Will it hurt anything to run all the timeAsked on 10/30/2010 by trick from nc1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
It is best to use distilled water with this water wetter. If your climate that you live in is colder weather than i recommend going about a 20 percent antifreeze and 80 percent water.Answered on 10/30/2010 by Mike the Auto Parts Master from AAP
Q:
Is it better to use with distilled water or with antifreeze?Asked on 9/3/2010 by Mr Dip from Lithonia, GA2 answers
A:
Water Wetter - It is an additive product. Water Wetter is what is called a “surfactant.” What this means is that it reduces the surface tension of the water or in other words, it allows the water/fluid to “rub” closer to the metal allowing it to better draw off heat. Water Wetter works and it is good stuff. However, if you add it to an Ethylene Glycol antifreeze product your results are minimal. It will reduce temperatures, but by only a small amount. Added to water, you will see a significant difference in temperature reduction. But it will not raise the boil point of the water nor does it offer any antifreeze protection. So your engine may run a bit cooler, but when it gets hot it will “spit out” the coolant before other products do. That is not good, because now you’ll have less coolant in the engine. Using more than the recommended amount (4 capfuls to a quart) is a waste and it will not make any difference, only use their recommended amount.Answered on 3/24/2012 by LimpDinky from Wallenpaupak, PACUSTOMER CARE

A:
When you mix this with water and use the mixture as a coolant it actually provides really good cooling for your engine. I am actually about to use a mixture of this and water in the project car that I am building.Answered on 8/10/2010 by Mike from AAP
