    I actually spoke with Sandy two days ago, and she has sent me a replacement impeller because she thinks that is the issue, I was just curious if anyone here has any other ideas.

    What you have to do to fix it is, Take the air line and suck just a little air out of it and you should see more bubbles start to form in the skimmer body.

    Make sure you send the warranty card in, Mine was bought in may and my motor went out and its not covered because i didnt send the card in.
