Pixi It's a common question so you might find more answers on Google but until then, try pouring a little milk into the water at the edge of the pond to see where it flows towards. If you have been having windy days combined with sun, it might not be a leak, you can expect quite startling evaporation in that kind of weather. You might also check to see if a water from a fountain is blowing out of the pond rather than landing where it should. Streams are very popular for leaks if you have one. Good Luck. |
Possible Pond Leak
Step 1 - Don't add water. Wait until the level stops dropping. Remove
fish if necessary. Step 2 - Go carefully around the edge until you find the leak. Step 3 - Mark with chalk so you can find the spot later. Step 4 - Drop the water a few more inches Step 5 - Patch - let set up recommended time Step 6 - Refill a few inches higher than hole. Watch for more leaking. I have heard of putting colored water in and watching for it to disappear but don't know what you would use to color the water that wouldn't bother the fish. Good Luck!
