Besides checking the battery voltage, if its been used a few times. Take the upper half of the pump out by pressing the red tab and turning the body of the pump 1/2 turn counter clock wise. Once you have it appart check to see if there's eel grass on the shaft. I had that happen, the impeller looked good but the shaft had a bunch and it was not visible with the pump assembled. The resistance on the shaft slowed it down.
