Live Well not holding water

Hi! Been a bit since getting on this site. Hoping to get some advice from the group. 

I have a 2006 Ranger Z20 and I am the original owner. 

 

Here lately, my live well will only fill half way, regardless of the amount of time I run the system. Im assuming I have a bad gasket?? Is it worth rebuilding, or simply just replace the mechanics, as well as, all new lines. Curious if anyone else has had the same issue and what you did. Thank you in advance. 

 

Boat is currently in the shop getting a face lift: new carpet, new seats, new hubs and brakes, to include a much needed waxing. It is coming together nicely! I mention this as some may ask for a pic of the current system.

    Bad gasket? I'm gonna guess a weak pump.

    Thanks! Already looking at just replacing the entire thing.

    As @slonezp mentioned above, or a bad seal inside the Fluorite control valve @Michael Evans, which is a pretty easy DIY fix.
