In-vertex skimmer help

My skimmer has been working fine for a little over two years. I notice now that there are minimal microbubbles in the chamber and no foam. I looked at air line and it is fine the pump is sucking water in, also checked all of the plumbing to make sure things are clean. Still no foam.

What else can I look at?

Hey take the pump off and take a look at the impellar take it out and clean it its sounds like thats where your problem is.

I would still suggest that you take out an make sure your impeller is clean and not broken.

But just as new skimmers it takes a little while for them to work properly again after a cleaning!
