Of course, I lose about an inch or so a week, and it rains every 37 seconds here, so I am replacing an inch or so of water every week. I know, I know...these are top offs and not the same thing...I am just not sold on the water change thing. Ya know, STOP MESSING WITH THE DAMN POND!!! I don't think you can mess anymore then by changing the water. Change my mind. I am open to discussion. Let's think about evaporation, everything but the H & Os that make up water remains behind, heavy metals, salts, etc. Rain water doesn't help, it's our air purifier so everything it collects as it falls, smoke, dust, exhaust, etc. also ends up in your pond. H & O evaporate off and leave all that heavy thick goo behind. Why ponds become swamps, become wetlands, become deserts.
