Hayward Sand Filter S 200 High Suction Rate

Pool & filter have been great for 10 years, just maintanance work. Yesterday I came home from work and air is getting sucked into the filter. Water level is halfway up the skimmer, same as always. But for some reason, the filter is pulling the air thru one of the skimmers so fast it's running dry and pulling in air. Only thing I can think of is I need to ADD sand. Haven't put any in over the years, right now it's not quite halfway up the filter. Any other ideas as to why the filter would be drawing in so much water so fast? Thanks.
