Water wetter isnt a substitute for coolant, it simply does exactly what 
the name says, it makes water more wet.  It allows the water to absorb 
more heat and do alot of other cool things.

I met the guy who designed the stuff.  My recommendation, if you are just 
driving around on the street and have no problems with overheating or 
running hot, dont worry about it.

If you drive hard, etc etc, use it.

My friend in NASA is required to run ONLY water with water wetter...

The stuff is awesome...but unnecessary for most people.
