I think I have a leak in my new pond. Whets the best way to find it? it
can't be very big, the pond has gone down about 2 inches overnight, I've

had
a look but can't see anything obvious- no bubbles or anything, I've check
all the pipework and that seems OK.

I'm using a liner by the way, Unless it is just the liner 'settling' as I
only filled it up yesterday?

Only yesterday?

It could be a leak, or evaporation. Keep filling it day after day, If
you find someplace getting wet, then you can trace back to where the
water is coming from.

If you suspect evaporation, place a container with some water floating
in the pond, if it loses about the same amount of water as the pond,
then you can assume that it is evaporation/

Don't think it is evaporation, it's lost another half an inch since I first
looked at it this morning, about 3 hours ago.
