Pond leaking Advice Please
Hi,
I have a system that consists of a pond connected to a concealed reservoir that has a pump sending the water up to an upper reservoir where the flow originates. It then goes on a downstream run of about 30 feet into the pond, and the cycle start all over again. I started to lose a lot of water. To isolate the problem, I tapped off of the 3 1/2 supply pipe in the upper reservoir, connecting it to a flexible 2 inch line. That enabled me to isolate sections of the 30 foot run as well as the upper reservoir. From what I can tell, the problem is in the upper reservoir. The installer has the lining tightly wrapped around the vertical supply pipe, and he also cemented the surrounding cavity. I'd like to pour something into the cavity that would seal it once and for all. Any idea's... T.I.A. |
