LOW CANISTER FILTER OUT FLOW / INTAKE

[Plantlover]

Hi Friends

I had cleaned my canister filter last week and now I reinstall it , I am noticing a lesser out flow of the water than before and also I can see lots of dirt in the tank seems the filter is not sucking it out ..

When I cleaned I had properly clean the motor also

Can any experts advise to troubleshoot

Are the trays installed properly?

Loss of flow after cleaning could be a few things. Check to make sure everything is seated correctly, not sucking in air from any connections, that you didn't forget to put the top on the top basket and media is stuck to the filter head intake (I've seen it more than once), that it is fully primed (sometimes just un plugging it and plugging it back in or shaking the canister back and forth will do the trick) and maybe even taking the whole thing apart again and putting it back together (usually fixes the problem).

Yes
I just open it today to c if any installation problem ,, but all was fine. Now I just fix it back and still the follow is less

I pulled out the inlet & outlet hose , cleaned and reinstalled ,, now it's perfectly ok
I think may b because of the hose blocked or may b the impeller was not properly fitted
