MP 10 making sound

[Rams]

Since today afternoon,wet side of my mp10 is making loud noise.Can anyone experienced it and how to resolve it? Appreciate your response.

Can you describe the sound? Mine was making a rattling noise, and I found that taking the cover off made it way quieter. I reduced the noise with some rubber bands for now. Check my tank thread for a fts where you can see the super good looking rubber bands haha

I would take it out (wet side) and clean it. Its always great to own two wet sides, so you can swap at any time. Always keep a clean one on hand.

Vinegar bath?

Is it vibrating against the glass causing a noise? I had a MP40 do that, and the wet side had rotated slightly. I just repositioned it and the vibration disappeared.

Actually, you would think but no. Vinegar is not safe (goes through the plastic and rusts the magnet underneath) although I did my first times cleaning I admit.

Buy citric acid on amazon and use that. Works killer. Or if you need a fast remedy. Just a bath in fresh water and a tooth brush to scrub. Google the ecotech vid on how to disassemble the wet side.

Indeed, shut off power, reposition and turn on again.

Good to hear

A good brush is normal maintenance for me......Maybe citric acid or whatever people say to use once a year...... but regular break-down, brush, reinstall should be fine
