I have had this skimmer running for 8 months. I got it lightly used from a friend. Recently I have noticed that the output that collects in the cup is much less than before. Also comparing it to another friends new SRO-5000 SSS 10” Space Saver, mine skims much less. Of course tanks are different but both are same size and stocking levels, 265 gal. I have recently cleaned it well including the pump and needle wheel. It is generating lots of bubbles though. Is it possible that the pump becomes less efficient over time?
