they work for me...
did you clear out the 1st batch of that stuff (flush the rad) and this much came back?
id drain the loop and take a close look @ that stuff...then take the rad out of the loop and see if the stuff is coming from the pump or the rad...

I'd think so, except that copper and aluminum don't stick to magnets.
I think it's shavings off the pump.

didn't know that was a magnet
if it is magnetic, it's not copper/alu
steel in your loop somewhere?

They look like those little magnetic shavings that you find in a magnadoodle.
I say its shavings from that magnetic thingamabob in your pump. How old/new is your pump? I'de have it looked at. I think it's eating itself to pieces.

replace your aquarium pump, its dying
- the bushing in the impeller is worn out, causing the BARE magnet (CHEAP pump) to wobble on the shaft and wear against the internal pump casing
normally it makes noise also
NOTE: iron particles in fluid in contact with bare alu is quite bad

Thats the problem, It is all brand new. I have not even had this circuit in a computer yet. As for the noise, this is about the quiestest pump ive had. Its a DD D4. I did clean it out once already. then it did this again. thanks for the cooments. I got a good laugh out of the priest one.

Yeah, I'd start looking for a replacement pump, unless of course you can get parts.

At least take the pump apart and see if theres any impeller wear.
