Saw this on sale the other day. Read a bit of litature on it. Anyone here using it? Does it really work?

It works, but it works best on straight water. It will mildly reduce temps in an anti-freeze mixture, I think 5-10 degrees depending on mixture.

Most bigger commercial/heavy duty diesels run SCA (supplemental cooling additivies) as recommended by the manufacturer...

I've always sworn by water wetter... I've noticed a difference.. and I run a more water than coolant mixture in the warmer months... it seems to work excellent.

Some Subaru owners use it as they can have a tendency to air-pocket within the heads, and they don't like that, at all, at all..

Works great. I use it in all my vehicles and in my liquid cooled computer. What is really neat to watch is the affect after putting it in the system, smooths flow out and quiets the pump down (along with decreased temperatures).

Just be careful what coolant you run it with. It isn't compatible with everything.

I heard from a friend who used to work for a chemical testing company that dishwasher cleaning tablets were the same thing as water wetter!!

Havent tried it though..

Yes, I have heard that rinse aid, like Jet Dry, work similarly.

I have used water wetter on my old EcoDiesel, Chevys, and dirt bikes. It has worked for all of them. Rhode Island does not get as cold as it does further up north, so I don't have to run as high of a coolant ratio, so it might help the southern people more than the northern people.
