I wish I could find the post, but somewhere on the net a guy was stating that Water Wetter is just soap and water.
I did a few googles for soap and water wetter and what I found out is that soap is a surfactant that decreases surface tension of water.
Most things I've read is that WW functions as a surfactant that decreases the surface tension of coolant and allows it to move around the motor better, and allows it better contact with the engine for better cooling. I've also read that WW makes your coolant more basic than acidic
Anyhow, this guy stated that dropping I think 1/2 to 1/4 teaspoon of dishsoap in your coolant would have the same effect as buying a bottle of WW.
Next time you have a bottle of WW in your hand, give it a shake...it sure behaves like soapy water would. And soap is very basic.
Anyone have thoughts on this?
