    So I noticed my eheim was returning very little water through the spray bar, basically trickleing out. I cleaned everything and put it back together, and for four or five days it was running great. Then the flow slowly started decreasing again.

    This has happened a few times now. I Tried replacing the impellar which my LFS thought was broken, but it did not improve at all. The problem originates with the intake, as I can see the water trickleing down the intake hose. Neither hoses have kinks in it.

    I am really at a loss right now, does Anyone have ANY idea what may be causing this??? The intake hose did have a kink for sometime, could I have burned the motor out??

    Any input is greatly appreciated

    Did you clean the intake?

    If it works fine for a few days and then slows down sounds like you have a clog that it getting loosened when you clean.

    Possible, maybe something stuck in the head?
