I've been told that the 'water wetter' product increases cooling
efficiency by allowing the user dump water (no antifreeze) into the
cooling system. The product is supposed to be a corrosion inhibiter which
keeps the engine happy when almost pure water is used. Because pure water
has a higher thermal capacity and a lower viscosity than ethylene glycol
it is more efficient at transfering the heat out of the engine.
