Molykote 111.
I agree with that statement completely. Does the tank water act as a lubricant??? I notice when I first place the pumps in service (I rotate wet sides and clean roughly monthly) that there is some noise and vibration and then they seem to settle in. This is much more noticeable on the MP10s. What lubricant do you use, I may give it a shot.I run 4 mp 10’s. I add grease to the ceramic every time I clean them. I noticed I would get some chattering when I didn’t.
The grease does stay on the wet side parts just fine.
In my mind; if it spins, it’s needs some type of lube.

I bought some food grade 100% silicone grease. I’m going to put as thin a layer as I can get on the shaft and on the base where the thrust bearing is.Ecotech replied a few posts ago- they use Molykote 111. Just need a tiny amount around the shaft as any excess squeezes out and provides no benefit.
This is the kind of transparency and customer assistance that keeps me buying replacement parts for my EchoTech gear.Will add 3-packs of lube to the parts store shortly.
It actually cost $20 a tube for 5.3oz.I am surprised they don't package and sell it for $20 a tube like their super glue.
