Ok, I got it fixed!!!!!! I had one area leaking air, so I pulled that out removed the teflon tape, and put silicone on the threads. While I had the line cleared, I took the pump off, and opened it up to find not one but TWO medium sized snails in it. So I removed them and reassembled everything, siliconed every glued and screwed connection, and bam!!!!!! it was working better than it ever has. What was causing the problem? Who knows maybe a combo, but it is fixed now!
