Default Pond repair

I have an above ground pond with a rubber liner. The line the
recirculates the water from the lower pond to the upper pond is a pvc
pipe (plumbing variety. It pierces the rubber lining below the water
line of the upper pond.

This penetration leaks. Are there any recommendation on how to fix this
leak.

There are several ways. One use two shower drains, one inside and one
outside and bolt them together, using stainless bolts. A little silicone
caulk applied to the face of the shower drains before bolting is advisable.
Another method is the Bickel Boot. For this, just use a piece of pipe,
about twice the diameter of the hole, push the pipe though, causing the
liner to cone around the pipe, put a stainless pipe clamp on the liner to
hold it to the pipe. This method would require adapters from current pipe
size to larger and back.
