Does Redline Water Wetter eat coolant seals?

Quick answer I don't know. Long answer There is a high probability that My short answer is very correct.

I've used it in both my cars and it reduced the temps by 10 degrees. My coolant seal blew on my GTU but that's cause a bad radiator cap blew my engine.Although I've gone 20k miles with it in my engines.

It makes the water more wetable and does have some coolant/anti corrosion proprties so I would say use it.

No. Water Wetter is safe with no known side effects. (Except it makes your wallet $8-10 bucks lighter)

Dex-cool and other red-orange coolants have been know to eat water seals and aluminum housings.

WW is completely safe and works great. It's supposed to have some corrosion inhibitor as well. It just changes the surfase tension of the water allowing it to transfer heat better. Well worth the 8 bucks.

I replaced my bad radiator cap with a Standt cap from Checker and it lasted me 4 months.
Friday it completely gace up and spewed ALL coolant out through the over flow resevoir and onto the street.

Temps skyrocketed in under a minute and fried the rear rotor seal

Now I have to do a last minute Jspec NA to TII conversion to get a daily driver back!

Personally, I won't use anything besides Mazda's radiator and t-stats.
