vortech mp10 rusting issue been resolved?

[Jono123]

I'm looking at getting vortech mp10s but there seems to be a rusting issue with them has this been sorted or is it still an issue?

I am not aware of any such issue, been using them for over 3 years now. Can you share your source?

I’ve seen this mentioned in a few posts and wonder if another post I saw is related. That other post was about using Vinegar to clean parts with metal in them. Apparently Acetic acid will penetrate plastic, so can permeate the casing and get into the magnet itself. From there it causes rust. The recommendation is to use Hydrochloric (Muriatic) or Citrix acid to soak any parts that contain metal instead of Acetic. Acetic is fine to use on all plastic parts however.

I haven’t had experience with this myself, just passing this on.

I’m on my 3rd wet side, the first two both rusted at magnet. But keep on my mind my unit is one of the first generation with the blue driver, so it’s about 10yrs old.

I'm on year 4 of the same wetsides. Clean in vinegar every other month. Have yet to have any rusting issues.

From the threads I read, it was the mp40's that were rusting magnets not the 10's.
