Lightbulb Any body tried water wetter?

yeah hey guys has any body else tried water wetter?
i did a flush with my 240sx and drained all liquids. and replaced it with 15% coolant, bottle water wetter, rest is water. So far ive noticed a slight drop in the water temp. its like 8 bucks.
its available at all auto zones and other places i forget.

does the distilled water really make a big difference?

Distilled water is just that "distilled" to remove contaminants from the water, that way you get less oxidation & scaling. It's always best to use distilled water whenever possible and only use tap water for extreme emergencies.

As for the water wetter, I've seen it in action and am a true believer. I've just never had a reason to run it in my coolant as I haven't had any cooling issues.

It also has anti-corrosion additives, which are good even if you're running distilled water. Over time, it will still accumulate contaminants that turn it into a weak electrolyte, so WW is worth it for more than just the coolant properties.
