Sucking air

I have an all-in-one pump/filter/fountain. Recently it has started falling
over and on one occasion it rose completely out of the pond! There's lots
of air in the pump when I stand it upright.

I don't know why it's started doing this (it's just a year old). I think it
might be to do with hair algea getting caught around the vents and perhaps
the pump is sucking the air from the algea?

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Steve

Oh hell, I thought we were talking about Carol Gulleys bull****. It
also sucks a lot of air.

It sounds as though it may be defective. If still under warranty you need
to return it. The water may also be too shallow in your fountain or pond
allowing air to be sucked in. Can you release the air and try setting it in
deeper water?

You may want to try removing this algae. If it's a fountain you can use one
of the products designed to keep algae from growing in the water.


Any ideas?

Hi there,
I've removed a lot of this algea. I'll let you know if it does the trick.
I think the water is deep enough, as I needed to use an extension attachment
so the head of the fountain extended out of the water.

Cheers,

Steve

====================
Yes, please let us know if that worked Steve. If not, than do as Jan
suggested and weigh it down with something. Water lettuce, inexpensive and
easy to find starves this algae out if you toss in some potash.
