Is it already time for a new wetside? My mp 10 started making a rattling noise in the nutrient export mode. Its only been run for two months, hope this isn't a reoccurring thing.

Looks like the ceramic coating on the shaft is fractured. Where the shaft joins the base. It is not repairable if that is the case. This will definitely cause rattling and chatter. You can continue to run it but more coating will eventually come off. I’ve tried a dab of superglue to keep it from breaking further. It will buy a bit of time, but needs to be replaced. If they’re only two months old from new purchase, should be warranted by ecotech. Don’t glue it if they are under warranty, of course.

I remembered watching this video awhile back. Again if they’re under warranty, don’t do this.
