less bubbles coming from my ozonator. Is it on its way out?

   Hi all.  My ozonator on my 18 month old 2013 hot spring grandee is not producing as many bubbles as it was when new.  Is it time for a replacement or does it just need a cleaning?  I saw on YouTube, that you can disconnect the hose and let white vinegar then run thru that hose to remove scale buildup..  I also heard that they usually have a 1 to 2 year life expectancy...

clean it.  Bubbles do not mean it is working or not. Just means you have restricted flow.  It is probably still producing ozone.
