Seriously?
Back in December I posted this in the forum due to a very noise wet side and a rusty magnet.

I received a new wet side and it was a great improvement, it was totally silent....plus there was a brand new magnet.
I have just returned from a weeks vacation and found the Vortech had stopped spinning and the wireless driver was flashing a bunch of different colors at me. I removed the pump and found it was difficult to turn. I unscrewed the prop a little and tightened it back up. After placing back on the tank it did seem to help a little, but it is very noisy and I can't run it at full speed. If I do this, it will fail and everything will stop again. When I had opened the wet side to get to the screw, I noticed that the magnet was almost completely rusted. THis seemed very strange to me as the last one didn't start rusting up until I had it for more than a year. This one has been in the tank for less than two months. Is it possible that I have received a defective wet side? Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
