RAIN!

hey, i have a small, probably simple to answer problem. Its been raining
cats and dogs here and the liner of my pond seems to be floating up, should
i have add rocks to the bottom of my pond. i believe its all water coming in
from the ground underneath the liner...any ideas?

I had the same problem due to a leak from the waterfall. However, I
have to pump the water out as the pond basin is carved out of stone. To
do this, I stole the connection ends (short pieces of hose) that run
from my two hose reels to the water faucet. I then put an $8 drill
powered pump in between and used it to pull the water out from under the
liner. I bought the little electric drill powered pump (drill not
included) from Lowes. Definitely well worth the investment.

Just let it dry out it is just ground water collecting. You must have very
good clay under there
Now if you have allot of fish and they don't have room then put the fish in
a kiddies pool or tank to something and pump out the water from under. This
happens a lot in the spring when the thaws happen.
