Are you using some sort of pre-filter or sponge on the intake? could it be clogged?

Yes I do have a pre-filter, but I removed it yesterday and there was no difference in the flow.

Have you cleaned the impeller yet?

**ZooTycoonMaster** · 07-01-2009, 05:07 PM

I just did, and the flow didn't change at all

**ZooTycoonMaster** · 07-01-2009, 06:07 PM

Maybe I'll just buy a replacement pump head...

And I just got rid of the blue sponge and cleaned the ehfi...thing that the water first passes through and the flow still didn't change at all

I'm getting

off at this filter

EDIT: Nvm, problem fixed...don't bump this anymore
