Water Wetter Cooling System Additive
Is anyone using this? Do we need to add this cooling system additive to cool assist the cooling system, especially during the summer months???

I use Watter Wetter, but it's not necessary. You most likely won't see any temperature difference after adding it.
Engines overheat when the coolant begins to boil. As the coolant turns to vapor, there's no longer liquid in contact with your engine block to carry away heat. Even when your coolant temperature is normal, there may be localized pockets of boiling coolant in the system that keep the coolant from dissipating heat. Water Wetter is a surfactant -- it lowers the coolant's surface tension -- thereby eliminating these small pockets and keeping the coolant in constant contact with the engine block.
Although Watter Wetter doesn't reduce the overall coolant temperature, it makes the temperature more consistent throughout the entire engine.

the more water you use, the better it works. it can be used with anitfreeze, but works better with water. in, say a full track only race car using only water in the cooling system, you will notice a SLIGHT drop in temps.

thanks for the responses....
In conclusion, it seems like antifreeze is good enuff and we don't have to add any wetter to make the water "sweat".
