Losing 400 gallons per day
 

and it's not from the filter or the edges, so it has to be from the
bottom of a 2000 gallon pond. What's the easiest solution? The pond
was put in by someone who keeps saying he'll come out and look at it,
but he never shows up. His helper says it's my fault for adjusting the
rocks around the falls, but it's not coming from there. So what can I
do? It's a very frustrating situation. I've thought of laying down a
liner on top of the one that's there, but that seems terribly difficult
because of all the rocks that would have to be moved.

Does it lose water and then come to a halt?
The leak would be there.
Or if you turn off the waterfall does the
leak stop?

hope something helps!

I turned it off and the leak continued. I panic when it gets below a
certain level and then start adding water, so I can't be sure where it
is. A couple really big rocks have fallen in and I suspect one of them
tore the bottom.

Um, drain the pond and look for holes in the liner?

DISCLAIMER: I have never done this, just read about it.

Rumor is...pour some milk in the pond, and watch where it goes...
