    Default Redline Water Wetter

    I have heard that some people are using water wetter in their radiators. Is the product worth buying and does it lower coolant temperatures?

    I have always heard mixed reviews for Water Wetter, 1 Person says its an amazing product, the other says that its a rip off. I am uncomfortable putting anything into my cooling system that doesent belong there, and from all of the reports by reputable car companies and tuning mags that I have read, there is a minor cooling effect but nothing worth braging about.

    From personal experience with this product from Redline and Royal Purple, they work as advertised. My cooling temps with the OEM radiator and romping around with my 15PSI are consistently lower than previously without the product. Even on a hot summers day it has remained consistently lower. I have full faith in these 2 products as they are from reputable companies and it is based on actual chemical properties of breaking up the surface tension of the water in the engine coolant. I have seen no ill effects in my cars (4) for which I have been using both products for several years. In fact, I bought my first bottle of Redline Water Wetter from a Toyota Dealership.

    There is some contention on the internet as to problems with certain chemicals in the water wetter causing build up and corrosion, but this is for H20 cooling of clocked chipsets on computer motheboards. Quite different from automotive cooling systems.

    Navy, I appreciate your feedback. I didn't think that Redline/Royal Purple would make a product that didn't perform. I am one of those hesitant buyers, and would rather get other peoples feedback about products I am considering buying.

    Hats off guys! Thank You! :-)

    No thank you for the compliments. We try our best to get the right info out. My hats off to you and your not so common sense. The force is strong in you me thinks. Asking questions and reading feedback from multiple sources is always your best bet to the answer at hand.
