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.

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?

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?

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?

Cheers,

Steve
