Just to let you know that once our current stock of Water Wetter is gone we won't be re-stocking.
Redline, the manufactures of Water Wetter are concerned they have not done their own testing with the watecooling industry so have asked ourselves and Danger Den along with i presume all other watercooling stockist to remove it from our shelves so once its gone, its gone.
thats a little scary, they must have found something we didnt :eek:

No question the addition of Water Wetter helps in a cooling system whether its PC or automotive >>Link<< (http://www.redlineoil.com/products_coolant.asp?productID=53&coolantFlash=1)
Given that the smallest bottle Redline produce is 330ml, i personally asked Redline a couple of years ago if they would look into the cost and possibility of repackaging Water Wetter into smaller bottles for PC cooling and they had us do projected sales etc but they pulled out suggesting it would be uneconomical and the cost for setting up would outweigh sales which i found quite puzzling so it was left to us to carry on buying in bulk and decanting into our own smaller bottles as did Danger Den.
We've now been asked to withdraw it so draw your own conclusions.

Just so.
I was fortunate to count RedLine as a sponsor of my last roadrace team and have used their oils/coolants (regular antifreeze is not allowed in GP roadracing- too slippery in case of leaks)) for several years.
All of their products are topnotch.
I'm guessing RedLine was concerned about using their product in an application they had not qualified it for and, rather than spend the R&D to test for a very limited market, decided it was best to simply pull out altogether.
This hardly means there is a problem with the product- I still think it makes a lot more sense in a waterloop than garden variety antifreeze- rather it's probably just RedLine protecting their image.

i was under the same impression, materials in a computer water loop do not appear to be the type that will dissolve or anything with the use of such a small amount of antifreeze.

WaterWetter is not, nor is it claimed to be, an antifreeze.
Essentially it's a surfactant which increases the water's ability to absorb/release heat by decreasing the surface tension, hence the boundary layer.
Although it's effects might be undetectable at the temp levels we would expect to see, WaterWetter can't hurt.

Well id assume there's nothing wrong with u still selling it and not linking it for use with watercooling.. Whats the harm in selling additives for car cooling??
Sure dont a certain other site sell meguiars gear... Which is beyond me..
Either way, it can still be got a decent motor factors if need be..
