Hey, you never finished the other thread where I told you how to clean that out.
Those things are very easy to service. just pull the pump off. where the little airhose connects to the pump itself, pull off the hose and use a toothpick or even a cheap fork to poke that hole out. you should see it all crusted in. I took a fork and bent one of the tongs on it just for cleaning out that darn hole. It all comes apart and back together easy. just pull it out and you will see notches in the part that blows the water out. twist it to line them up and it will come right off so you can service the Impeller.

In my years, If you service your equip on a regular basis, you rarely have issues. Its easy fix man. you can do it.

No the airline is completely clear which is why I just started a new thread. If the airline wasnt clear then an air pump wouldnt work attached to the same line. So it must be the venturi, I didnt get to it last night Ive been workin ALOT this week and the air pump is subbing in for now but Im sure its not the air intake

the tubing never clogged on mine. just the plastic part of the pump that clogged up.
