I would pop it open next time you do a water change just to see what it looks like. You won't be able to tell a big difference in the flow unless it drops alot. So pop it open and just look if nothing else. It never hurts to look.

You may want to at least hook up a hose to the bottom drainage port and expel whatever debris has accumulated at the bottom of the filter. You can do this with the filter running.
