MP60 wetside magnet rust

Hi All,

I am having an issue with one of the wetsides for my mp60. When i was doing maintenance i noticed a big crack in the magnet and a lot of rust leaching out.

Picture of the wetside


Alex can you help? I mostly just use the mp40qds in my tank but wanted to get more flow so decided to add mp60 back recently

They usually cover those magnet issues under warranty. I have had 2 replaced and they were both covered. Ever time I have ever had a problem they have been nothing but helpful and more than willing to do anything to resolve the issue. Good luck.

Yes, ecotech is very good about warranty repairs. Just do the warranty request on their site and they'll email you instructions. It's fast and easy

Unless the unit was bought used and is well past warranty.
