So I've had this problem the entire life of the pond (about 18 months) I've already replaced the pump which seemed to be fine but now this one is doing the same thing. Basically, I'm not getting proper flow through the waterfall on the filter pump.
I have two pumps, one in the skimmer and one above ground running the filter.
The filter pump is a Sequence 5800 or 5200 gph

The skimmer pump is Jebao JGP20000 (5000gph)

Just had a pond service leave and they couldn't figure it out either which is frustrating.
What happens is the flow is far too small for the size of the pump and over 3-5 hours the waterflow will eventually go to 0 and I have to turn the pump off out of fear of burning it up.
Here is a pic with the above ground pump on.
Here is a pic with both on. Massive difference in flow between the two pumps.
Here is a quick video of the output through the filter.
Does that look normal output for this pump?
They checked the filter, the connections and swore up and down its not a clog but can't explain why the water flow is so small or why the water in the prime box only goes up about 3/4 the way.
Help!
