If you're running it off the pool pump try blocking a couple of the other outlets.

Something like a 1500mm waterblade setup will require that you have round 1L/s flowing out of it to give a nice cascaded effect. What's your pump capable of at that lift?

Try pumping a bit harder haha...

Is it possible to fit inline another pump ?

What is holding it back ?the pipe or the pool pump not giving it enough ?

Also depends how far down the line the water feature is getting it's feed.

ok, from the pump to the feature is 10 metres. it is 40mm pipe from the filter to the back of the feature reduced into 2 25mm pipes as the connections on the water blade are 25mm screw ins. i went to the pool shop and the guyn reckons it needs to be 40mm all the way. right up to the blade. does this sound right?
cheers
