I am paranoid about the block freezing over the winter even though the likelihood is bout zilch.
People use water wetter vs straight water as you need something to help lubricate and fight corrosion.
You also need an additive to break surface tension, or else you'll have increased cavitation (which is bad for pumps) and water boiling at "hot spots" even though the overall solution is below the boiling temperature of the solution.
Straight water is a pretty bad idea for a system designed for a specialized coolant.
