Default still losing water

Well, ok. I have had lots of trouble keeping water in the pond since my
wife and I cleand the pond. I ran some plumbing through the side of the
pond which involved us busting out and patching the concrete that forms
the pond. I have gone back and re-sealed the concrete where the pipes
were ran with hydraulic cement. This seems to have slowed the drainage
somewhat. Even still, I am still losing somewhere between 1/4 - 1/2
inch of water daily. God forbid if I turn on the waterfall for an hour
or two, Ill lose about an inch of water. So, cannot circulate the
water. Also have a nice algae bloom going on since adding the
potash-but that is an entirely different post al together. Should I
just line the sucker? If so, after spending the $300 Id probably need
to line the pond, how do I know that a liner would help? Maybe we didnt
notice before the cleaning, but I am damn certain the pond was not
losing water like this before. Im getting frustrated to the point of
giving up.
