Eheim 2217 diminished flow problem
Hi ,
I have a 3 years old Ehiem 2217 filter, for last few days have seen flow rate have diminished quite a lot .
Checked there is no kink the tube and also cleaned the media. It has improved the flow rate but not much.
Please suggest

Cleaned the filter again and this time also ran without any media, still not much difference.
