    i have vortech mp40. and i did not notice i had a small drip on one of my lines. so it got wet and shut off. i know it is not good at all but what are the chances that when it dries out it will work again. it barely got wet so i am hopping it was just enough to shut it off safely. any thoughts?????

    hard to say. Im guessing the drip went to the controller for the pump? if so i would up that thing up and unplug it from the dry side and soak it in a bag of rice. the rice will absorb moisture.

    my personal experience with any sort of electronics that gets wet when it shouldnt is put it in a bag of rice for a few days and hope for the best. Typically that will dry out everything inside so it should work again. Its worked for several iphones of mine so if all else fails.

    edit:Lol As skurious and i were typing we both had the same thought.
