Return Pump Weaken

[Anchorman]

Hi reefers,

I have had this Eheim 1262 pump brought brand new almost 3 years back. Now it has significantly weaken as I noticed the overflow compartment always running low water level that caused the slurping sound. I had taken it out to clean the sponge & propeller twice to clear debris but the pump still running weak.

Wish to enquire is there anyway that I could revitalise this pump or decommission it ?

Many thanks,

You might want to try washing it in white vinegar? It removes almost everything dirty and some have claimed their equipment became like brand new.
