WHY? Why are the falls slower now?
« on: December 30, 2013, 11:34:34 AM »
I did some clean up, took 2 large gold fish out of the leaf basket!  They seemed just fine. Used a razor scrarper fo clean algea off the stainless steel spillway. Now the water is running slower!!! Makes no sense.  However i have found that the water will run better in a few hours. It is almost like it lost some prime and now has to build it back up.
Cleaning the priming pot will do it for sure, but I am trying to avoid that. lots to do!
so WHY, WHY, WHY?

the water is cold as can be! I knowyou guys not in Calif or Florida are laughing {nono}

I ran the hose down the leafe basket. In 15 seconds it ran like Niagra!

What mystifys me is since it was already running why did in need the water infusion?
