Pond Repair HELP
 
Prepare the area to be repaired by cleaning it thoroughly with a wire brush.. Mix only a small amount of cement at a time, about a handful, as it sets in as little as 30 seconds. While kneading the cement ball with one hand, apply small amounts to the crack with the other, starting from the bottom. Smooth the edges before it sets. Work your way up the crack with more cement, repairing even above the water line. Speed of setting can be slowed by adding a small amount of conventional mortar mix to the hydraulic cement. Be cautious though since you want it to set in the water and not simply dissipate.

The repair is immediate and nothing else is required. Water can be added and, if the pond continues to lose water, look for another crack. For more information http://www.pondpro2000.com/epdm-pond-liner.html

Made of cement it is NOT a pond, that's a *pool*.

To be a pond it must have a *natural* water source (such as a stream
or spring) and it must have an overflow outlet. Anything filled and
emptied manually is a pool... even a depression filled by rain and/or
run off but hasn't an overflow outlet is still a pool, typically
vernal pools... I've several vernal pools on my property and I have a
large spring fed pond that empties into a creek. A man made
depression, cement or plastic tub, filled with a hose is NOT a pond.
