As per the title, a mate over here in New Zealand is running this through his cooling system and raves about it.
Anyone here used it?. Pros and Cons?

Yes, it worked. No cons at all.

Yeah got it in the saff! Though didnt really notice much difference as my car always runs cool with the large Rad etc any eay. But i always like to be safe than sorry!

I got about 5 bottles in the house for future use as i bought them in the US as only $10 a bottle some companies here try to charge £30

Used it, it works, no drawback im aware of.

Made bugger all difference to the temps in my car. Plus the one I used wasn't compatible with antifreeze.

what is it

Rhys

Additive that makes the cooling water properties of water better.

ITs the heat trasfer properies specifically that it changes, doesnt realy alter the specific heat capacity as far as im aware.

So it doesnt allow your water system to hold any more heat, but it does allow it to release that heat to the radiator better.

Only ever of any use if your temp is going higher than you want with the thermostat fully open in the first place though of course!
Will make NO difference in any other situation.

You can use it in chargecoolers as well

Has anyone noticed their temperature gauge drop from using this?.

Also do those of you that have used it.......
Do you still run, the old 50/50 green antifreeze and water combo?, do you just add this Water Wetter to your header tank and it does the rest?.

I used it prior to a track-day to try and help the water temps and it seemed to work....not a massive difference though.

If you've got cooling problems it won't solve them!

where can i get some from and how much?

I used it in the saph to offset the slight increase in temps after fitting the RS500 cooler.

As Porkie said, it worked

Rhys

Ran seen it for sale at some shows and i think its in Demon tweeks for £30 i think

John Laverick

You can get it on E-bay

I think my temperature gauge sits half way in between the "O" on NORM if I'm out on the open road and giving it shit, it's never gone above that though.
This is on a 2WD Sapphire, it used to be lower but since I fitted new Fan Switch, Temperature gauge sender, ECU temperature sender and Thermostat the tempertaute gauge has jumped up slightly

One draw back, it can burn.
Had the cooling pipe to the Turbo leak & it sprayed Wetter on to a hot Turbo.
Saw smoke through the bonnet vents, opened it & Turbo was alight, burnt off & went out in a few seconds, but ive not used it since, dont need flames under the bonnet on a Topspeed run.

before u decide if u have cooling problems, understand what a thermostat is there for, and how it works!

I use it in my charge cooler on the Lightning and yes it works. I also sell it £11.50per bottle.

I used it in the S2 - jsut for safety. The temp gauge always set reasonably low so I cant say I have data to say it worked. It works by reducing surface tension in the water molecules there by giving better heat transfer.

Used it years ago, didn't notice a difference myself but mate did.

You can get here in New Zealand for the equivalent of £8 for a 500ml bottle.

It just releases the tension on water dont it?? There's other makes that do the same thing as well on the market.
