Hi Barry,

Had a similar occurence on my  200T. The cause was a bit of plastic
that somehow ??got sucked onto the screen of the filter. It would be
perfect until the plastic shifts, and the supply is cut off.

Switch off and the plastic gets washed away just to move in when you
least expect it.

Had to undo the pump to get to the problem.
