There are many people who are still using water in their windshield wiper fluid system. This is not a safe practice to do because using water instead of the recommended fluid will increase the chances for system failure. Not only this, but water is ineffective at cleaning the car's windshield.
Windshield wiper fluid is primarily used in the system because not only is it a good detergent to wash windows with, but it also lubricates and protects the internal components of the system. This means that the windshield wiper fluid system can go longer durations of time without being serviced.
In order to make sure that your windshield wiper fluid system is working correctly it is important to use the recommended fluids so that the system can operate efficiently. We here at Muscatell Burns Ford want to remind our Hawley area customers that windshield wiper fluid is an important when it comes to driving safety.
