Well I decided to try a bigger pump, I found an article for pump engineers (didn't realize there was such a thing until recently) that was saying how to calculate the correct centrifugal pump size for a certain viscosity. Anyway I decided to get a danner 12 to see if that helps or hurts.

I decided to try this since I'm pretty leary about messing up my dehumidifier (would hate for it to corrode and then start leaking), since It would be very hard to replace it for the same amount of money spent ($76 for a $250 dehumidifier is hard to find).

I also tried watering the solution down a little more to try to help things, but it didn't help much.

Would methanol possibly corrode things? If it won't, I may try that if the pump doesn't fix it.
