Whos using waterwetter ? how do u mix it ?
I was wondering whos using waterwetter, i read up on some threads and some people say they have used 2 bottles of it and just put in straight water or distilled water (whats the difference with str8 water and distilled)
Anyways whats the best setup to use ? is it safe to use 2 bottles and all water ? or bettter to use just one bottle and distilled water, or 2 bottles and distilled water ?
im pretty sure u dont need to mix waterwetter with antifreeze correct ? i just want to be on the safe side an ask on here before i do anything

thinking about water wetter myself.
I'd just follow the directions. Using more or less seems like witches brew to me.
distilled water has some of the minerals removed. Minerals can corrode aluminum components. You can do the same basic thing by leaving a bucket o water to sit for a day until bubbles form, or (I think) collecting the water from a dehumidifier.

If you are using antifreeze, water wetter is a waste of effort. The ingredients are already there.
Water wetter will work fine with plain water but distilled or deionized water is better for your engine - no scale buildup.
The purpose of water wetter is to cause the vapor bubbles in localized boiling to collapse faster. Localized boiling will create a vapor barrier between the coolant and the hot spot, water wetter prevents that.
Adding extra water wetter doesn't really help.
The best setup for the racetrack is distilled or deionized water and the recommended amount of water wetter.
But my car works just fine with antifreeze.

I just picked up some of this wetter water too and I was wondering I think I read soemwhere they suggest a 90/10 distilled water to coolant mix. I live in Ohio and I'm a little worried to weather my "water/wetter water mixture" could freeze if I'm storing the car in the garage over winter. Does Wetter water have some kind of antifreeze characteristic that would help prevent the water from freezing. Our winters don't get really any colder than 15 degrees but in a garage I'm sure itd stay alot warmer.

Nvm on my question the bottle states does not alter freezing point guess I'll go with a small amount of coolant I don't plan on driving in the winter or snow at all my car is getting garage stored like it has been for the past 18 years.
