C-Skim 1200 stopped pulling air!
I noticed today that my C-Skim 1200 stopped pulling air and on closer examination the aspiration pump mesh wheel is just rattling back and forth inside the pump (the pump is really hot). I cleaned the skimmer body, air intake and pump thoroughly but the problem persists.
It appears that the upper part of the mesh wheel shaft has been ground away somewhat. I have attached a photo to better illustrate. I've been praising this skimmer her on RC as it has been performing very well - up until today. I'm looking forward to your prompt response!

Update: RedSea is shipping a replacement aspiration pump out Monday.
