Increasing the water level by closing the wedge pipe will not make the pump work harder nor will it cause premature failure. Premature failure is caused by a lack of maintenance with these pumps where calcium builds up inside the block and creates friction on the shaft. The water level will have no bearing on the longevity of the pump. None whatsoever. We still never established which model skimmer you have.
