    Hi Terry,

    It could be running too fast.....or too slow. It's likely that, given that you've been going for so long that the pipework has become gunked up. Before you try anything else, get a hose and blow through your pipework.

    If that doesn't resolve it, try adjusting the flow rate to your grow bed.
