I have a In280 and I find the white air line tube get salt creep inside and stops making bubbles. I poor hot water down the top of the grey tube and this helps keep the air tube clear.

Thanks for the info. I checked my line and it was fine but there was a tiny pebble stuck in the pvc elbow the hose connects too. Once it was removed everything is working again. Thanks for the help. My wallet thanks you as well.

No Problem! I know they had issues with the first generation pumps. I had one and it blew up and almost crashed my tank. They replaced it for free and all has been good. :]
