Have you ever thought about replacing your windshield wiper fluid with water? If you have, please don't! There are many reasons why windshield wiper fluid is important and why it should never be replaced with water. Check out a few of these reasons below.
- Water does not contain detergents which means if you have road build up or bugs on your windshield chances are it will just get smeared whereas windshield wiper fluid would clear your window.
- Water sitting stagnant in your reservoir can quickly become a breeding ground for bacteria which can present health concerns for passengers and drivers within vehicles.
- Water freezes at a much higher temperature than that of windshield wiper fluid. Utilizing water especially in a climate where temperatures drop below freezing could leave you needing a clean window and not being able to obtain one.
Here at McCafferty Hyundai Sales Inc., we hope that you will remember these tips and ensure that your windshield wiper fluid reservoir is always filled with the proper fluid and not water!
