I'm ready to do a flush, anyone had experience on this water wetter or is it just another 10.00 useless product?
Will it hurt any aluminum parts in the cooling system in my 93 Ruby?
Thanks for any inputs.

From my understanding, it works pretty well on systems with less than a 50/50 mix of coolant/water. The more water you have the better it works. Since I installed my manual fan switch I rarely see temps over 200 so I don't use it. Honestly I can't see how it will help a stock setup sitting in traffic.

Most water wetting agents break down the surface tension to get better contact with whatever the fluid is touching. Soap tends to do the same thing but in a cooling system the foam produced is a killer.

I use a 25 to 75% mixture of anti freeze to water, and water wetter. I have a 15 degree improvement in temperature. Have'nt had any of the other problems described in this thread. I live in Florida tho, so don't need as much protection.

I've used the Water Wetter in my friends car and had great results: After checking timing, mixture and some other parameters I tried Water Wetter and the pinging went away.
Deffinetly reduced cyl head temperatures.
