Pump Doesn't Seem To be Pumping as well . .

Hey, I have had my 75G fish only tank for about a year now and when I put my hands in water to feel water flow coming out of the down tubes it doesn't seem to be pumping as much as it used to. Anything I should be doing or could do to help this?

Cleaning any prefilter and letting some vinegar soak the impeller for an hour or so can help.

Would I take apart the pump and soak just the impeller or just soak the whole thing for an hour or so? Sorry I am very new to hobby and don't want to screw anything up.

Take it all apart and all the parts soak. Then wipe them down with a toothbrush and wrap, rinse in warm water and then reassemble.
