I was surprised by the rust too. I have had the car about 15 months. I use only 50/50 (in Minnesota), but maybe the previous guy(s) used water only, as that was in Texas.
Stewart has 4 levels of pumps... Levels 1 & 2 use the stock impeller, level 3 uses an "improved" sheet metal type that is more durable, and level 4 has their own design billet impeller.
