Rain Lamp not flowing....

[Skorpion Moon]

....Would this be the correct forum to post this in? I have a small elephant rain lamp that won't flow all the way around or for very long. When started you can hear the pump, and the oil begins to flow, but on only about half the strings. Then the flow slows to almost nothing. It worked great for the first two years I had it.

Taken apart, throughly cleaned and fresh mineral oil put in. Now running like new.

I had one that I brought with me to my classroom, I was always sticking a paperclip up into the where the filaments come out to unclog them!

A straightened-out paperclip is exactly what I used to clean out mine, though I had to do it from the inside where there was a lot of build-up that couldn't be seen from the surface.
