Thanks for the reply. Basically, what you are saying is that it's either antifreeze or water wetter or a corroded metal mess later on?

I was told that water wetter will kill this pump because of buildup/deposits.

Well, a couple of questions come to mind then..

I guess that leaves me stuck with antifreeze then since it does protect metal from corrosion. This makes me wonder though.... Does antifreeze work the same was as the watter wetter by leaving some sort of protective film on the metal?

The other question is, does adding alcohol to the water make the water anti corrosive? If so, that would be great because all I would need to do is drop my color in it and live happily ever after.

Last question is, does mixing dyelite with an antifreeze-water mixture present any issues? If not, then I'll go that route if alcohol-water doesn't help with corrosion.

Thanks again
