I don't understand what you mean by "water wetter" perhapse more water than antifreeze? If so, that could be the cause of it, because it will boil away easier than a properly mixed system. Or you could just have a leak in the system. Have you checked the coolant levels?

Water wetter is an additive u add to the coolant/water mix. It helps the coolant "cool" better...
