Seen on Wheeler Dealers last week they were using a waterless coolant, can I use this?

Re: waterless coolant
this has been mentioned before,it may be in the wiki or the archive,I think ALL the water has to be drained from the system for this to work and it is pretty expensive,have been interested in this myself

Re: waterless coolant
Water with decent anti corrosion antifreeze is better in every way. Unless you want your engine to run hotter and your coolant to be inflammable.

Re: waterless coolant
Our coolant is primarily a corrosion inhibitor.
Is waterless the same?

Re: waterless coolant
I thought that coolant is primarily an anti-freeze additive that contains corrosion inhibitors.
