So I won a mp10 es in a club raffle a couple of years ago and since then have had it upgraded to W es so it can link with my 2 other vortec pumps (mp40wes) . I was doing cleaning maintenance roughly 8 months ago (I had not put pump into use until about 4 months earlier) and noticed propeller part appeared to have calcified/fused on to the white ceramic shaft. basically I destroyed the ceramic part as it broke off in pieces leaving metal shaft exposed. I ordered and replaced the base which comes with shaft part figuring that maybe I waited too long to have maintenance done . fast forward about 3 months and again doing maintenance it seems like same parts were stuck again and after spending quite a long time soaking in vinegar I was able to pull them apart , today (appx 30 days later) again while attempting to clean pump on a more frequent schedule .....propeller part came off with a struggle as well as half of the ceramic part. Is there something I can do about this or do I just let pump run until it seizes as it appears doing routine maintenance seems to require replacing something each time
 
Sig,

It sounds as though the wetside is receiving to much magnetic coupling force. I would recommend using the included spacer on your dryside to reduce the coupling force.
