well open up the pump and just clean it out readjust the impeller and put it back together. If it dosent work with that I would suggest a new pump

Why bother asking the Yahoos?
I think you already know that you need to go to “Fish Pumps R Us” and get another one!
Besides…most things like that are cheaper to replace than fix.

The water could have come backwards up the tubing into the pump. That’s what happened to mine. I had to replace mine.

the motor probably burned out,
7 years is a long time for such a small motor to be pushing such large amounts of water.
its probably worth it to find a new one instead of attempting to fix your current one.

Yes, if it won’t work then you’ll need to replace it, the purpose of a pump is to circulate the water so scum doesn’t build up, you need a pump or else your fish may die.

depending on the cost, either replace it or have it rebuilt. Likely the bearings of the motor have burned out. If it ran too long in that condition, the bearings will damage the shaft and the repair might cost more than a new pump
