#Water wetter full
Open the radiator cap (or on most modern cars, the overflow tank) and pour in the full bottle of WaterWetter®, funnel optional.īefore I reveal the results of my test, let’s look at Redline's claims for WaterWetter®'s effects on your cooling system: If you have too much fluid in the overflow tank (above the line labeled max), simply siphon off 12 ounces before installing, as overfilling is a really bad idea. Locate the radiator fluid intake point (RTFM if necessary). Assuming you can open your hood, open your hood (when it is cold, otherwise prepare for a scalding). Then, following the instructions on the bottle with my usual precision, I’d give my mount the magic potion, drive the same test loop and measure the temp again.įor the mechanically challenged, installation of WaterWetter® could not be easier. I’d simply run my car sans Redline’s additive and check the coolant temperature. I reckoned it’d be a doddle to test the bottle. They claim their potion can reduce car coolant temperatures by as much as 30✯. As part of their range, Redline offer a product called WaterWetter®. Since 1979, the Benicia, California company has been selling coolants, fuel additives and lubricants to the automotive, motorcycle, marine and industrial markets. However, there’s one company with a sterling reputation for delivering on its promises: Redline Synthetic. This is especially true for engine additives (*cough* STP *cough*). There's way more to this, and I'm not a chemist, but the above is the reader's digest version, and hopefully helps.Inexpensive products that promise significant improvements to your car’s performance are almost always fool’s gold. Guess what they packaged in that? You already know the answer. No more wiping your car off after using their product. If you watch the Daytona race(s), you'll most likely see a marketing blitz for a product called Auto Dry Car Wash. In cars engines, the reduced surface tension theory is that the coolant will find every little nook and cranny inside the cylinder head castings, asborb more heat, thus no hot spots. Water beads may contain small particles of debris, thus ruining a class A paint job. Once again the reduced surface tension, means no water beads. Surfactants are added to sheet water off whatever widget you are rinsing (cleaning) prior to paint. Same deal commercial paint pretreatment systems. Personally in my chilled water set-up I have a 75:25 mix of RO Water and Dexcool, with a little bit of redline water wetter.įor dishes, surfactants are used to sheet rinse water off, so no water beads, thus no hard water spots on your fine china. Change cooling system annually for best protection.Īnd with that, I think the matter is settled.ĭiscussion of ratios of your surface tension reducer aside, the generic term for water wetter or jet dry is.surfactantīoth of the above contain some form of a surfactant, and as you all know by this discussion reduces surface tension of water. Red Line's WATTER WETTER provides excellent corrosion protection for modern cast iron, aluminum and brass systems. Less than 50% antifreeze provides further improvement in temperature reduction, but at least 15% antifreeze should be used in street vehicles. I cannot at this time say that this product works though, as I have not added it to my loop yet but I am sure it will do the trickĭirections for use: 1 ounce (3-4 capsful) per quart or 1 bottle per automotive cooling system of 12-20 quarts. It says that it passes some ASTM D-2570 simulated service corrosion tests. Hy-Per Lube contains Molybdate which forms a protective film on aluminum parts. It also says that it provides protection from rust corrosion and electolysis in cooling systems using 50/50 water and anti-freeze and in water only systems. This allows cooling systems, using a 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water to run 6-8 f cooler, racing applications running straight water up to 20 f cooler. Lowers the surface tension of the coolant allowing it to more deeply penetrate the metal surfaces at vital heat ransfer areas in the cooling system. I was actually looking for a corrosion inhibitor and this is what they showed me I found some stuff at the local checker auto parts store yesterday that is pretty much the same thing as watter wetter.
