Default Need to flush radiator; what to use?

I am currently running distilled water and water wetter.

Should I stick with this? I don't really track the car much.

Someone said water wetter wasn't good to use in Hondas. Quotted from an old archived post:

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">water wetter contains silicates/ silicate free coolant is recommended for hondas.</TD></TR></TABLE>

Should I just get some Type 2 Honda coolant (type 2 is pre-mixed right?) and drain the radiator and block, and then fill with Type 2 and bleed?

Just looking for some opinions.

I am in AZ so it does get pretty hot.

Is your car overheating? If not I would use Type I with distilled water.

Either use Honda Type 2 or Zerex G-05 coolant. Both are low silicate and low phosphate.
