To the OP, I'd personally keep flushing. Back flush the heater core by itself as well. I think that's where most of that junk is coming from.
So, because water is the best solvent on earth, as in it readily dissolves things and suspends minerals within itself you are calling it corrosive? Which means it converts metals to salts...
Mmmkay...
