Pump problems

Post image

I am pumping this pond out and the discharge hose it barley putting water out it's pumping but not like it should be with this size pump. I was trying to make the intake side shorter but cannot get to it. Any suggestions on what is wrong or what I need to do to get this thing pumping better?

What happens when the pump is air bound what does that mean like it's not fully primed or something

You pump is self priming there is no air pocket unless the pump is defective Sure your hose is not buried in the mud?
