MP replacement parts?

[hogfanreefer]

I have been ordering replacement parts (propellers, nuts, bearings, etc.) as needed but when I went to the EcoTech site recently there were no parts in the catalog other than foam covers, power supplies and replacement dry sides. Is something up?

I can't afford to run these pumps if I don't have access to replacement parts.

hogfan,

We no longer have those parts available since that style of MP40 wetside has been discontinued. With that in mind, the new QuietDrive MP40 wetside is compatible with your existing dryside.

Good to know, even if it's not an issue for me yet.

Well that's not exactly what I wanted to hear. So are those going to become unavailable when the next "upgrade" comes out? Kind of a bummer to spend so much money on a pump and not be able to replace simple parts after only 2 years in service. Guess I have no choice but to replace the whole wet side over a propeller.

To be honest with you ..I was in the same boat and felt the same way as you till I received my new quiet drive wetside.what a world of a difference,wider flow and ALOT easier to clean(it basically looks exactly like the mp10 wetside but bigger)trust me bro it's worth it..and if you could afford the quiet drive driver it's also worth every dollar

This is BS! You're telling me I need to buy 6 new wet sides to the tune of $75 a piece! WTH
And do these new QD wetsides have "wearable" parts that will need replacement at some point?

Perfectly planned obsolescence. :thumbdown
