hi,

i'd suspect other reasons for the water loss before i'd blame the
water hyacinths.

has it been warmer or windier lately? Do you have a waterfall? Could
your liner be leaking?

on windy days i lose a lot of water from the waterfall.

how big is your prefab? i have a 250 gal and i put in 3-4 water
hyacinths
in the spring. by summer i'm throwing or giving some away weekly to
avoid
them taking over.

My pond is one of those prefabed plastic ones and I have had
it since last year. Everything has been great with it this
year until last weekend. I bought 20-25 small Water Hyacinth
and put them in and now the pond loses 1-1 1/2 inches of water
per day. Is it possible that the new plants are drinking that
much. We haven't done anything else. Thanks in advance for any
help.
