Pond Pump Problem
The pump in my pond has been working for a goodly number of years but of late has been malfunctioning. This is a proper pump (as opposed to a sump pump type) with a side inlet and top exhaust. After a day or so running at full flow this then gradually reduces to a trickle. On switching off for a few minutes (maybe half hour) and on restart the flow is normal until the next time. Have stripped the unit down to ensure no blockages from stray frogs, bark chippings etc but the problem persists - can anyone offer a solution (or, failing that, an inexpensive replacement source) Thanks
