All this while trying it under my tiny sump with barely any room to move lol. Once it runs good with the intake in I never shut off my skimmer but had to to rewire. So u can imagine I was goin nuts each time it turns off.

For the older sedra pumps over time the air feed nossel gets clogged up with calcium sludge and debri. There are mods on YouTube for widening up the port that feeds the air. I have done this on my own pump intake. I would suggest to do a vinegar clean first then bore out the air intake on the pump. If you have any questions I could help you via text or phone. If you don't have my cell number pm me.
