new Aqua UV unit showing rust?

Recently installed a new Aqua UV Classic 160watt unit with the wipers. Ran for just over a month and I noticed a rust coloured formation on the outside around the wiper nut. Took apart the unit and had this rust substance on some of the wiper rods, a bit on the bulb and on the wiper rings.

Is this rust? Anyone encounter this? Unit has been offline for a week and my SPS corals are showing greater polyp extension and was wondering if there is a with this.

Reached out to Aqua’s customer service but haven’t heard back. Guessing they’re getting back from holidays.
