All Aquatec pumps are prone to corrosion, only aquamist highlights this issue. This is a sound advice used against aquamist by other uniformed wmi makers.
The warmed air in the engine bay will condense on the bearing surfaces, over time, corrosion sets in. A shielded/shrouded pump will not cure this problem, merely delays the same outcome. Aquatec has never offered a IP65 rated pump.
