You need to be using Methanol... At a minimum amount to lubricate the pump shaft
Didnt think it was an issue at alll on Aquamist pumps, could use straight water if want?

I know, hence my words

IIRC that scientificly itd be best (for performance reasons) to use Water, Methanol, and summat else (IPA maybe, I forget), as the heat absorbsion propertys of them all work kinda sequentially so work better than 1 type, even if the 1 type is the best as a single coolant.
Isothermic bollocks that I dont understand, was detailed stuff on the Aquamist forum that im not sure exists anymore.
