Well I got a spare pump running up in the top pond, before there was only the one pump running to top pond for about a month cause one of the bigger pumps that I just got last year quit working. Going to stick with Laguna pumps from now on, these "no name" pumps seem to have trouble...

I also placed the spinning balls back in the water ways, they REALLY help keep the algae down. In the early spring, the surface of the water in quite areas can warm quite a bit compared to the deeper parts. In the warmer still water, the algae can really get out of hand, but if you place spinning balls then they keep the surface water moving good, and help prevent the algae.

I have a small pump that will sometimes quits working. Not really recommended but I clonk it on a rock and then it starts working again. It's just a cheap thing so I don't really care cuz if it's wrecked already what can it hurt.You could try a rubber mallet. Must be just something stuck inside of mine that jars loose when smacked.
