If you use a good HOAT antifreeze like Zerex G-05 in a 50/50 blend with distilled water you don't need any snake oil coolant additives.
Water Wetter is for race cars where the rules prohibit any proportion of ethylene glycol because if spilled it makes the track slippery and is difficult to clean up. It does reduce water's surface tension and provides a mild corrosion inhibitor package, but it is totally useless/redundant if you use the above mentioned coolant blend.
