That's what I found interesting about the video, and the fact that there's
no pressure build up, hence the hoses last longer and the heads/water pump,
too. I replaced all the cooling system parts a couple of years ago, almost
all, if not all the plastic parts replaced with stainless steel or aluminum
pieces. Some people are using long life coolant in their vans, so why not a
"for life" one? A 5-gallon bucket might cost me $200.00, contrary to
thounsands to replace the heads, gaskets, hoses... it kinda sorta makes
sense to me. But what do I know, I've had my van for almost fifteen years
and driven about 140,000 miles  with all kinds of problems and issues,
mostly due to ignorance, and/or not doing a good job fixing something the
first time. It's been said that if it's not done right the first time for
being in a hurry, somehow there's always time to fix things a second or
third time. I think I haven't learned that lesson yet for some mysterious
reason.
