Question about skimmer pump

[mike31154]

Maybe pull the pump out & have a look at it before you write it off. Might be as simple as something lodged in the volute or impeller. More info on the pump will also be needed before anyone can recommend a replacement or other course of action. Skimmer model is a good start, but model # & flow specs. of the pump itself will help determine a suitable replacement if it comes to that.
