my brothers honda has been overheating for some time, not sure exactly maybe 2 mnths maybe more, so he replaced the radiator and cleaned out the tubes. today he overheated to H sooner within 15 mins and loss about a quarter of reserve water in that time frame, he doesnt use antifreeze because of cost. others suggest the cooling fan, which doesnt seem to be working but did on/off before, the thermostat - i dont know how important that is to the cooling system so inform please, also the water pump, and the gasket.

my question is with the new radiator loosing fluid in short time what could be the problem? what could be the cost to fix service and parts?

also could it be the worst and be a blown gasket or is that more major, what would the signs and cost?
oh yea there seems to be no leaks below the car or through the muffler.
haha plus we live in california where it is super hot in the summer dont know if the holds any relevance but it was like 100 today.
