Ecotech mp10 controller dropped in sump

I came home from work today and found one of my ecotech controllers in my sump. NOT GOOD. I pulled it out and some brown water dropped out of it. Smells like fried electronics in my sump. Ive been doing water changes all night...im up to 20 gallons as I can only make 5 gallons of rodi at a time. So far I cant tell if anything is dieing. I guess I will see over the next few days. Im going to stay up all night and make water to hopefully dilute the toxins. Hopefully the massive h2o change doesn't do more damage.

DO NOT trust Velcro to hold electronics above your sumps. I should have known better.

Im going to try to change 100 percent of the water over the night.

Its an Elos 70 so im looking at about 55 gallons.

I'd add some fresh carbon, too. If you have some CupraSorb, that might be useful.

Good luck! I'm sorry to hear about your troubles!

Ild got 70 and cross your fingers there isn't a parameter shock which might be worse.
