500 Gallon Liner Pond is finally looking beautiful. Fish, clams,
frogs, turtles...got a great thing going....water clear.....

Now losing Water like crazy! Lost 3 inches in 4 hours! Cannot find a
leak to save my life. Waterfall was made with liner covering the
whole thing....I have a feeling the leak is on the bottom or side.

Does anyone know of a manufacturer of a drop in (fed up with liners)
resin pond with these specs: 8 feet long x 3 feet wide x 4 feet deep?

I would be forever greatful!



Had a similar problem with a smaller pond. A few people in this group
said to look along the edge of the waterfall. Lo and behold,under a
few rocks, the liner had settled just an inch below the water level of
the bottom tier This detour let out about 3-5inches per day.

Hope your detective work is just a fruitful as mine was. Good luck!

All the best,

I had that happen in my stream, settling caused part of the edge of the
liner to be just 1/8 too low -- fortunately, in the the desert, the leak
was relatively easy to spot and all I had to do was build up the edges a
bit.

I also have had leaks when a fold in the liner turned into a siphon
after a rain or when I overflowed the pond. I used old aquairum airline
tubing to prop the folds open before I put the edging back in place and
that seemed to solve the problem.
