Is there any way to repair a dry-side unit if the bearings are shot? After my latest wet side cleaning the bearing rattle got quite bad. I clean my wet sides one at a time overnight in a vinegar bath. Always leaving flow on the right side so the wet sides rotate with each cleaning. (Take off left side, clean and use cleaned to swap out right side. The. That one soaks a night and it goes over to the left side - the left was offline for 2-3 days) There was a rattle to the left side so that was the one I'd shut down for cleanings. This time the rattle was quite bad after, no matter how carefully I dialed in the line-up. I guess it was out of balance with that wet side so it must have made it worse. I had it running, loud but running last night after I set everything back up. The next morning the dryside wasn't working. The controller was flashing and I took it off and tried to restart. The magnet would struggle to make 1 or 2 labored revolutions and the controller starts to flash. I hate that the tank's running without the flow on that side -- any advice on how to repair would be appreciated.
