Normally means there is water getting under the liner and not draining away.
Could be lots of reasons,
a lot of rain.
high water table.
puncture in the liner.
waterfall/inlet getting behind the liner.

thanks i would go for the lot of rain-high water table then,just funny as i never happened with my old liner only done it with this new one.

I would say that there is definitely water underneath your liner. Did you put the new liner over the old one? If you did then it could be that you have trapped air between them. I have had this problem myself.

Be careful that the bricks you have put in donot puncture your new liner.

Advice on pond liner

I bought quite a lot of liner from FLEXIBLE LINING PRODUCTS (flp). A bit expensive, but they offered lifetime guarantee.

The pond started losing water after one year. So I spoke to them, and they said "FIND THE HOLE". Their guarantee means nothing, except the advice of "FINDING THE HOLE". Avoid like the plague.
