Its just fancy jibber jabber to look cool and technical. youd have to be a democrat to fall for something called "water wetter'! HA! but in all seriousness.... I could be wrong. but im no dummy when it comes to cars by a long shot. you wouldnt believe what you have to do to become a smog tech in california
Well, you're welcome to not waste your money on it then. Assuming they aren't flat out lying through their teeth in the referenced PDF about their extended dyno test, I think their product has merit. I don't expect Redline to be lying about product testing, they're a pretty respectable company. Also, while I'm not well versed enough in thermodynamics or chemistry to really validate the rest of the PDF, nothing in it screams "snake oil" to me. If you'd like to debunk it with your own tests, feel free. Here's an independent test done by the guys at Import Tuner, too: Cooling Additives - Redline Water Wetter - Import Tuner Magazine

Edit: I just noticed that the linked test compares 50/50 water/glycol to 100% water with the water wetter added. That's probably not a very valid test, as water alone is known to cool better than water+glycol.
