So you're losing water in the pond, and I do not know where the water is going. Here are some things you can do to find out where the water is going.
1. Make sure there are no leaks in pipes to the outside
of the pond. To do this, the feeling throughout the country in which the
plumbing is the water pump is not here yet. Check for damp or wet soil. If you
find an area that gets wet, carefully dig deeper and wider, is the source of
water, or uphill from there. Key-note: the water flows through gravity, so if
you find the area where the wet earth, the water could come from there or
climb. It is necessary to trace the source of water. To do this step correctly,
however, may need to disable the combat system, etc., to dry the ground so you
can easily search for a wet area caused by the loss.
2. If you have searched along the entire pipeline in your
area and found no leaks, then you want to check your pond liner. To do this,
turn off the water source (ie the pump) for a few days if possible. (If you
have fish, you may need to provide ventilation for them during this time of an
air pump or a ventilation system.) Let's fall in water level is the lowest
point in the pond. Then, when sure it is at its lowest level, look carefully
around the pond only a little above or in the water. Find all the tears, the
projections of stones, etc., which may be the source of the leak from a
puncture in the wall.
If by chance your water level remains the same after you
turn off your water feature and the water level in your pond has remained the
same, then you probably missed it somewhere in your plumbing or drain comes
from.
3. If you are sure that the plumbing does not miss a boat
pond, you should consider your features like a water fountain or a waterfall.
Fontana is a day of wind can easily blow the water out of the edges of the
pond. Typically, the height of the fountain should be less than half the
diameter of the pond. For example, if the fountain shoots water up to 6 meters
in length, then the pond should be at least 12 feet in diameter, preferably
much higher.
If you do not have a fountain, but there is a waterfall,
and there is no leak anywhere else, check the entire area of the waterfall. If the cascade is not built properly, water can flow
behind rocks and boulders, where the water is difficult to detect unless you
can dig deep, and the tears could have been done under the rock, when the is
installed. In this case, unfortunately, to terminate its own waterfall
and built properly to avoid future losses.
While repairing a Leak If you have found the cause of the
leak in your pond by a pump or pipe connectors, make sure to cut your plumbing
and replace it correctly taking your plumber.
If you have found the cause of the leak in the pond of a
hole in the tank line, then you will need to carefully prepare the coating to
repair the leak. This can lead to a reduction of water in the pond several
inches below the leak, clean the skin very, very well, paving the area with the
first adhesive quickly and then place another piece of the lining of the patch
(cover band) on it and seal the edges, you can do the trick. If possible, get
to the source of the problem though. (For example, removal of the rock or root
that caused the puncture, for starters.) Therefore, you can repair the hole
properly.
