I have had the same problem pulling water out of a creek to pump into a pond. Pump is about 10 feet above the creek and about 200 feet from creek. Foot valve in creek. Stream of water would be great for a few seconds then drop off to nearly nothing for a few seconds. Kept cycling like that. Realized that line from creek had high and low places in it. The high places had air pockets in them. The pump would pull a vacuum on the air pockets and at a certain point, would suck water in through the foot valve. Water would flow well for a few seconds and then slow down to a trickle. Walked the line and picked it up as I went to get all the air out. With no air in the line, I now have full flow at the outlet. When I bury the line, I will make sure it is going uphill all the way to the pump so there can be no air pockets. You may have to put a lot of water and pressure on the bottom end to force all the air out at the pump. Richard
