Hi.

Of course you can, anti freeze (coolant) is only if you are staying in a country where the temperatures drop below freezing

==========================================================

antifreeze mixed 50 / 50 with preferably distilled water raises the boiling point , lowers the freezing point , and provides corrosion protection ( until the corrosion package is " used up " ) Do not exceed 60 % antifreeze , adding extra water will dilute the protection

_________________________________________________________________

Considering that water causes rusting, it is very inadvisable to use it as a replacement for coolant. The coolant in your car is designed to prevent rusting and corrosion, so it is highly recommended that you continue to use coolant unless you want to risk some high dollar repairs.

What do you put in the cooling system of a 1993 ford explorer can you put water instead of coolant?

I would only put water in an emergency situation where I don't have coolant available. The coolant helps the engine to not overheat and to not freezing, while that could happen if you just use water. If you don't have your vehicle's manual to know the specification of the coolant, you can use the generally available Prestone and add water according to the table on the coolant's recipient. (or you can buy the pre-mixed formula)
