MP40 wet side coat cracked

[daniel16reefer]

Anyone has got this issue with Vortech wavemakers? I have an MP40 that stopped spinning and when I opened it, the base showed a crack on the plastic coat with rust on the magnet base.

I was thinking that the coat should be better sealed of the metal. Don’t know how much iron and/or other metal got out!

That's a common thing. We need to be extremely careful when handling the magnets. If you slam them down too hard they crack and then create small rips in the plastic that allow water to seap in.

The wetsides are definitely considered consumables.

I have 6 MP40s several years old and have not experienced this. I do remember reading about cleaning them in vinegar causing damage and it was recommended to use citric acid instead. I can't remember if the damage being caused was a swollen magnet or not tho.

When I used to run them two of my 4 did that . Never was cleaned with vinegar it’s unfortunately just part of there issues

I will never use these again. Had them in the past and months after 10’s of thousands of dollars in acros were mysteriously wiped out, I found my vortech wet side magnets were rusting.
