    What is clogging it? If it is algae, then add bleach to the water once a month. If is is leaves etc, you need to prevent it from getting into the pump. Try putting one of those scotch-brite scouring pads or something similar over the pump in-take. You could also back-wash it by disconnecting the hose from the pump and putting a garden hose up against the fountain-spray end and flushing it back toward the pump end.
