I think my curve 5 skimmer pump is going out. Any recommendations? Should I replace with original sp1000 pump. Upgrade kit? Or ??

Generally I can't speak on the pump itself mine is less than a year old. That being said these are great skimmers. Cant beat the compact size as efficient as they are.Is this signs of a bad pump? I just don’t want to buy a new pump or upgrade my pump if the pump ain’t the issue.
Yes I actually soaked impeller And motor in vinegar for 30 mins. Then toothbrushed it off.Same pump.
Did you take pump apart and clean impeller and impeller shaft of any debris ?
^^This^^ Left alone my Curve 7 gets plugged with salt creep where the airline meets the water flow in the volute about every 8-12 months. I pull it apart every 6 months and clean it out as part of regular maintenance now.Have you made sure that the volute, where the airline connects to the pump intake, is clear of debris and salt build up? Whenever I hear that a skimmer is not producing foam like it used to, that is the first place I look to do a thorough clean out.
