What does wetter water do?

Table of Contents

Water Wetter is a unique wetting agent for cooling systems which reduces coolant temperatures by as much as 30 degrees Fahrenheit. This liquid product can be used to provide rust and corrosion protection in plain water for racing engines, which provides much better heat transfer properties than glycol-based antifreeze.

Can I mix water wetter with antifreeze?

In normal street usage, no matter where you live, the best compromise for cooling, anti-corrosion, boiling point, etc. is a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and distrilled water with a bottle of Water Wetter, IMHO.

Does Water Wetter coolant additive work?

Water Wetter works by reducing the surface tension of the water/coolant mixture. Some basics — water is the most efficient coolant you can use in your engine. Water alone will transfer more heat faster than anti-freeze will.

What happens if you use too much water wetter?

Edit: The Water Wetter can be run with 100% water and it won’t hurt the system, but it still will freeze if your temps. drop below freezing. Read the back of the antifreeze bottle! Redline waterwetter will not damage anything.

Are coolant additives worth it?

A good coolant additive can help by reducing the surface tension of water and allowing it to more efficiently absorb and transfer heat from the engine.

Do water wetters work?

Water Wetter does work. I ‘ve used it in a number of older cars, including several Jaguar XKE’s I’ve owned, and it definitely reduces operating temperature. Water Wetter works by reducing the surface tension of the water/coolant mixture. Some basics — water is the most efficient coolant you can use in your engine.

Will engine ice freeze?

Yes, Engine Ice Hi-Performance Coolant is an antifreeze offering freeze protection to -7ºF (7 degrees below zero Fahrenheit) or -22ºC (22 degrees below zero Celsius).

Does engine ice coolant really work?

The Critics Rage. Critics of Engine Ice coolant tend to say that it didn’t have any effect on their bike or as in the case of this YouTuber (Tony Nameless) the performance is too erratic and only useful in racing applications where you run the engine hard constantly.

Can you add distilled water to engine ice?

Suppose you have lost coolant and are in an emergency. In that case, we recommend you add only water, distilled water preferably, and once you get the chance, make any necessary repairs, flush the system and replace it with Engine Ice for optimum results and protection.

How long does Coolant Additive last?

They contain inorganic salts (phosphate, nitrate, nitrite, silicate, borate, amine), which are responsible for almost all cooling-system scaling problems. Plus, they deplete quickly, often in two years or less, and can lead to sludge or slime in your radiator, which clog passages and create all sorts of problems.

Is waterwetter® better than regular coolant?

Translation: WaterWetter® offers all the normal protection benefits of regular coolant to people who don’t use regular coolant. Oh, at a lower temperature. Well, theoretically… Strangely, Redline’s own test results don’t square with their ad copy.

Does Redline waterwetter® really reduce car coolant temperature?

Since 1979, the Benicia, California company has been selling coolants, fuel additives and lubricants to the automotive, motorcycle, marine and industrial markets. As part of their range, Redline offer a product called WaterWetter®. They claim their potion can reduce car coolant temperatures by as much as 30ºF. That’s hot! I mean, not.

Should you run waterwetter at the track?

One of the biggest reasons to run WaterWetter at the track INSTEAD of coolant is for safety reasons. If you blow a coolant hose, you won’t dump super slippery coolant all over the track and cause a potentially dangerous situation for the cars running behind you.
