The 1/2" flowmeter on my carbon reactor started to slow down and then stopped indicating flow two weeks ago. Now the 1/2" flowmeter on my UV sterilizer is doing the same. Look at the flow gradually slow down. Its as if the 1/2" flowmeters are clogging up. I opened a ticket with Neptune and the advice is to clean the flowmeter. The problem of course is that my flowmeters are deep inside the sump hardmounted to a manifold and to access and remove them is not routine. I will wait until the next sump cleanout.

Anyway lesson learned is that the 1/2" flowmeter is susceptible to "clogging". I will take pics of what I find when I clean out the 1/2" flowmeters. I wonder what flowmeter cleanout task can be done that doesn't involve deplumbing? Some kind of a flush?

The 1" has not exhibited this behavior.
