I was cleaning my pumps and noticed this on my MP10 impeller, thinking it might explain some recent mystery tank issues. Do these rust or is this something else?

it could be ceramic coated. At least that's how it appears. Rust bleeding from the hairline cracks in the pic would indicate so.

Did they end up sending a replacement? All 3 of my wet sides are showing a little of this around the tip now.

Do you guys know when the dates of manufacturing are on your units, I wonder if the ones after the cost dropped went down in quality. Cutting corners to compete with the Gyre

One of my MP40 wet sides rusted out. I contact Ecotech and got a new one at my door a week later.

It turned out 2 of mine were rusted, since they were past warranty they gave me half off on buying the new wetsides. Not bad since I got 2 quiet drive wetsides for the price of one, I was happy with the outcome.
