Yet a properly designed and maintained mixed metal loop will not cause any issues, my longest serving loop was in mint condition after 4 years of service with G11 as well as a system that ran for 2 year with G12+. Even without additive and protective coating the aluminum parts of the unit appear rather solid to me, 1 mm+ will will take some time go from cosmetic to structural impact.

Are Aquaduct buyers capable of properly maintaining the system? That is where i see the problem.
This worries me.

1. its a phosphate based liquid which is recomended to avoid in water cooling if i remember correctly.

2. The additional uses of the chemical even tho its small:
"Phosphonates derived from phosphorous (phosphonic) acid are employed in the applications of scale Inhibition, sequestration, dispersion and corrosion inhibition in addition to the main applications of agricultural chemicals such as fertilizers, pesticides, and soil conditioners."

Thats taken directly from the link.
