Default Using water wetter with summer coolant?

I know you can use water wetter with winter anitfreeze but just wondering if i need to flush my coolant out an just run it with water or if its ok to keep coolant in.

We use it on our Ferrari LMS & GTO cars at work and it lowers temps up to 10degrees so it def works. ppl use it on cars, motorbikes etc so will make a difference in your S1 unless there is an underling problem.
