aqua one 2400 external filter

hey guys...
i currently have aqua one 2400 external filter, every 3-4 mins it sounds like it builds up alot of air and then i can hear it "whooshing" out all at once,straight out of the horizontal bar into the tank, any ideas why this is happening, it was running dead quite only a few days ago...

its only a few months old as well, so age shouldnt be an issue...i can still feel the flow coming out ,but every 3-4 mis a huge build up will come threw....

mayby clogged?

any ideas...

Hello Elvis. I don't have one of these filters but I would suggest checking all of your connections. Maybe even turn it off and restart it. Do you have to fill it with water first to start it or prime it? If so maybe you didn't have enough water in it to begin with? Check the out flow. If your filter is clogged then the out flow will be lower than normal. Just a few thoughts.
