You should definately clean it out, I am pushing almost 1000 through
mine.Mine is 1" bulkhead and 1.25" pipe,and it works like a charm,How high
is the water in the tank compared to your "t" fitting.It should be about 2
inches,I'm thinking something is off or a snail is in the pipe,or blocking
the bulkhead.One other thing, is your intake to the sump under water or
above.When i was fine-tuning mine I noticed when i submerged the intake of
the sump slightly the water level rose in the main tank , was creating a
restriction in the overflow and was duming slower than pumping.
hope this helps.
