The water is of good drinking quality, and definitely not hard enough to cause any damage in a couple of short days. ( i use distilled water for cooling system) but in this case I would suspect damage to pump motor due to running it dry a few times (as the fluid level was getting down) more than i would suspect damage from the water.

Perhaps there is air trapped in somewhere. I will try looking at it again, and take to dealer if needed. Just looking to see if anyone else has seen this behavior.
