I told Turk aboutt Water-Wetter, he wouldn't believe me. Now he see's the light.
OK - a chemistry lesson. Waterless essentially means what? Plasma or gas? Its called anti-freeze, not anti-heat. No matter what you look at, to some degree it's going to have water in it. The standard glycol-based solutions are going to run 'hotter' because of their makeup - its the same reason we use them as
antifreeze - they hold 'heat'. Too many people make the mistake of thinking "if a little is good, then more is better" and add a lot of anti-freeze to help their cooling problems - only to make their problem worse! Glycol is a form of sugar water, hence the reasons animals unfortunately like to drink it. Those of you who have had enough
antifreeze on your hands know that it leaves you with a sticky feeling.
The glycol, or sugar, holds onto the heat with greater affinity (like a pitbull on a mailman!) so it is harder to 'shake' the heat off through the normal channels. Its that same ability to hold-on to heat that makes them ideal for use as
antifreeze - they don't give up the heat as easy, therefore they avoid freezing longer. Products like Water Wetter are not glycol based, and therefore don't have the properties inherent to the gycol stuff -they'll give up the heat Pamela Anderson giving up the panties!
You do not need to run any anti-freeze in your car - its an old tale to make somebody some money. Just like changing your
oil every 3000 miles in the family car. What you need is water, that is free of minerals (de-ionized or distilled) for cooling, something to keep the seals soft (lubricated) and some type of chemical to raise its affinity to heat if needed for the area. Water Wetter, and another product 'Hyperlube' contain the chemicals necessary to lubricate the seals, lessen corrosion and electrolysis, and promote waters ability to shake heat.
