MP10 Broke

KevinYates · 01/29/2010, 06:27 PM

Dry side fell in saltwater (tank below) It was still working but I unplugged it quickly after and dried it. Now it will not work at all, gives a few vibrations and rumbles every once and a while.

Soo.. just posting this to see if there is anything I can do.. kinda pricy pieces of equipment to not atleast try.

I would dry it with a hair dryer on the lowest setting if possible but unfortunatly i dought it will be covered under warentee as it states to have the cord holder installed to hold the pump up if it should seperate preventing it from falling.

yeah I know that.the warrenty states that any sign of damage (cracked plastic from dropping) will void the warrenty. It has no cracks as it landed in soft 77degree saltwater.

on the up side, i'm sure you can order just the dry side from ecotech to get it running 100% again. I know you can buy all pieces seperate for the mp20/40
