NEVER use Anit-freeze in a water cooling system....

Anit-freeze is ONLY to keep the water from freezing and has very poor thermal transfer when compared to water....

not only that but the Silicate in the Anti-freeze drops out and forms on everything in the cooling system...

Thats the white stuff in a radiator that needs to be flushed out every year...

Just use the Xerex or Watter Wetter and algicide.....nothing more....

the Xerex or Watter Wetter is a thermal transfer helper.....thus aiding in helping heat transfer to the cooling coils...

Use 1 or the other but not both....I have Xerex and its a small .....OK

It's good I went to the Box and looked....The Stuff is ZEREX....

Called ZEREX Super Coolant...made by Valvoline....looks to be about an 6-8oz bottle...

you mix it 5% Zerex to 95% water....very dilute amount....mixing it more than that has negative effects...

Water Wetter is the same but comes in a bigger bottle for about 20.00 at the auto-parts store....same ratio on that stuff also....
