Water Wetter... freezes?

>does water wetter prevent the water from freezing also?
in other words if you added the water wetter to straight water will both freeze if the temps get low enough?

Re: Water Wetter... freezes?

Yes it'll still freeze.

Search engines work great to find websites and websites are full of useful info:
"FREEZING POINT DEPRESSION
Red Line Water Wetter does not significantly reduce the freezing point of water. If the vehicle will see freezing temperatures, an antifreeze must be used. Water expands approximately 9% upon freezing which can cause severe engine damage. 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."

there is an actual graph showing the difference between Glycol, 50/50, and plain water being the best heat transfer between the 3.
