distilled water doesn't have any minerals, pure 99.9% water, hence, rust won't be that easy to develop.

Distilled water + coolant, tambah water wetter lagi sedap!
Coolant & Redline water wetter different???
I thought water wetter considered as a coolant itself?
Correct me if i'm wrong.

nope, to be more specific, water wetter is like a additive to the coolant, that is why it comes in a small packaging form.

My water wetter comes in quite a large bottle, i think 250ml, not very sure. And according to the instruction, I should pour the whole bottle into it, is there any problem?
That means I need to get coolant before pouring? Luckily I still haven't use the water wetter yet....

On a sidenote, please recommend a coolant? NASA? Hehehe

Water wetter doesn't have anti-rust or anti-frost agent in it. That's why you need a bottle of coolant even if you have water wetter. Written on the bottle, best result is to use water wetter with water only but in asia, we can live without anti-frost but i wouldn't wanna see my radiator rust.
A bottle of Redline water wetter is 355ml.

My cup of 2cent Wwater wetter :D

Mine is also Redline. thinking alot of stuff because scared of wasting the water wetter, ain't cheap that's what I should say.

So it's just coolant + ww, no problem

Another question : Do you bleed(flush) your radiator or do you mix with the original?

Some knowledge shared by my co facility guy. My co is using DI water (Deionized & distilled water) for product process. Since the water been deionized and filtered away all the minerals, it AKA "hungry watar". It's more corrosive than normal water. When DI water gets contact with any metal, it will eat out the metal very fast. Dunno how true is it.
