USE DIRECTIONS
One 12 ounce bottle treats 12-16 quarts of water
or a 50% ethylene or propylene glycol solution.
In smaller cooling systems, use 4-5 caps per quart.
Add directly through the cooling system fill cap
into the radiator or into the overflow tank. Do
not open a cooling system while hot. For best protection
for aluminum, replenish or replace every 15,000
miles. The anti-scaling ingredients in Red Line
WaterWetter allow its use with ordinary tap water.
However, using with distilled or deionized water
will accomplish some scale removal in the cylinder
head area. For maximum temperature reductions use
the most water and the least antifreeze possible
to prevent freezing in your climate. Even in summertime
the use of air-conditioning can blow freezing air
through the heater and cause freezing of the heater
core unless approximately 20% antifreeze is used.
Red Line WaterWetter is available in 12 ounce containers.
(Quart = quarter of a gallon = 0.95litres = 1.6
pints)

Red
Line WaterWetter® is designed to provide improved
metal wetting and excellent corrosion inhibition
when added to plain water or a glycol coolant. The
most poorly maintained system in an automobile is
usually the cooling system. Maintenance is quite
simple and only required once each year, but most
vehicle owners never routinely change the coolant
or replenish the corrosion inhibitors which are
required for trouble-free operation. Proper cooling
system maintenance is very critical for most modern
engines which utilize more aluminum. Aluminum has
a very high corrosion potential, even higher than
zinc, which is very widely used as a sacrificial
anode. The only property which enables aluminum
to be used in a cooling system is that it will form
protective films under the proper conditions which
will prevent the uncontrolled corrosive attack of
acids or bases. Poor aluminum corrosion inhibition
will cause the dissolution of aluminum at the heat
rejection surfaces, weakening the cooling system
walls and water pump casing and weakening the head
gasket mating surfaces. These corrosion products
will then form deposits on the lower temperature
surfaces such as in radiator tubes which have very
poor heat transfer properties, causing a significant
reduction in the cooling ability of the entire system.
Red Line WaterWetter® will provide the proper
corrosion inhibition for all cooling system metals,
including aluminum, cast iron, steel, copper, brass,
and lead.
Water has twice the heat transfer
capability when compared to 50% glycol antifreeze/coolant
in water. Most passenger automobiles have a cooling
system designed to reject sufficient heat under
normal operating conditions using a 50/50 glycol
solution in water. However, in racing applications,
the use of water and WaterWetter® will enable
the use of smaller radiator systems, which means
less frontal drag, and it will also reduce cylinder
head temperatures, even when compared to water alone,
which means more spark advance may be used to improve
engine torque.
