Take the pump apart and clean it. Tunze makes brushes for this reason. Clean the impellor and all the fittings including the small air line tubes where deposits build up and prevent air from being drawn into venture on the smaller models like the 9002. If necessary use a vinigar soak over night and the clean all the components.
