Well first thing is to locate pump and then check to see if the screen is plugged. turn power off and check inlet tub of pump for sticks, rocks,or leaves in it that can plug the suction on it

SOURCE: PUMP RUNS BUT DOES NOT **** UP WATER

I have experienced this same problem and all I needed was to prime the pump. Unless your pump cannot pump up that high.

I have had similiar experiances with these. My most durable pumps are 1. Atlantic water Garden Tidal wave 2 pumps. - ( 1 pump repaired in the last few years out of hundreds sold) 2. Pondmaster - most models. The pondmaster (Danner Mfg. customer service is fantastic- no hassle problem resolution). The pumps get better every year and THREE year warranty.

Intermittent running usually points to intake or impeller obstruction. Remove the impeller screen and cover, inspect the impeller, the screen the discharge exit point for debris. Unlike other brands the impeller is not replaceable if worn or damaged.

SOURCE: How do I prime my outside of the pond waterfall pump?

I would take the intake hose off the pump and fill it with water and with the pump running I would hokk upthe intake hose.

I also would if possible have the pump lower than the pond.
