coolant flush/ water pump

Hello Everyone,

Has anyone ever used the flush and fill on their car? I've used it on steel radiators but I can't recall if their is a warning about not using it on aluminum radiators and blocks?

Usually I fill it with the flush and fill, take it for a 14 min drive, let it cool down. Drain fill it with distilled water, drain it then proceed with the antifreeze and the additives. I saw in another post the toyota coolant is a high life/mileage type similar to the peak extended. I want to avoid build up and avoid water pump failure. Any idea when the pumps go?
