My First ever icp

[MichaelB]

That copper level is fine, that is 0.008 ppm, nothing to worry about. What additives, if any, do you use? Tin is high, which is odd. I would run another FM ICP to verify these numbers. Never use just one test as a basis to make changes.

Thanks, I will do a water change, found a rusted out mp10 that was in the tank. Has since been removed.

I will use the copper removal stuff in a filter sock and plan to send a follow up icp test in 2 weeks or so. I don't plan any drastic actions.

I also tossed in fresh carbon yesterday evening.

Cuprisorb will remove many metals not just copper, so expect lower values across the board for things like Zn and Co. It may work on your Tin as well.

What was rusted on the mp10?

What was rusted on the mp10?

The magnet inside of the wet side cracked open and was rusted there is a picture on the previous page of it.

Do you need a wetside or did you already have a spare?

Do you need a wetside or did you already have a spare?

I will eventually need another wet side. I had 3 mp10s on the tank. 2 are still running. I have 2 extra wet sides but they have broken shafts or something I think they are called, so they aren't really useful as is. They made lots of noise when I tried to use them.

So this isn't really a urgent need as the two mp10s and the return pump should be sufficent until I find a replacement.
