Hi,
Iv only had my EX700 for about 2 months and have noticed a decrease in flow in the last week or 2. I initially thought it was the filter floss & removed it and cleaned half of the media and also cleaned the impeller. That made a bit of difference but the flow was still no where near when I first got it. I then cleaned the inlet and spraybar and both pipes. There was definitely a bulid up of brown algae or dirt in the pipes but when i examined them it was a tiny coating that wouldnt have any affect on flow. I washed water through them anyway and checked everywhere I could think of for blockages. When I set it all back up there was still nowhere near as much flow as there should be? (i also followed the instructions on priming it so there would be no air in the canister).
Has anyone noticed similiar problems with their tetratec or have any suggestions on something i missed?
Thanks,
