they could be crystalline shapes natural to Al2O3, they are going to
eat up any moving contact points, like seals or impeller bushings.
Al2O3, isint that the same sort of aluminum oxide used in abrasives?
If so, it's hard as hell, it could chew through any metal.

I supose it could, in theory, inflict some tiny microscopic damage, but if it doesnt effect performance or reliability, do we really care? I'm not trying to be a smartass, would/should we care about small tiny erosion if it doesnt eally effect anything?
