    hi guys, i need advice please, my pond started leaking.

    its the liner that ive used for sure.

    i prev did fix holes, but the fixes seems to be temp. What can i do to sort it out in the long run? Any good methods of patching, and with what?

    I had a leaking pond many years ago.

    repeatedly drained, patched up, and refilled.
    in the end a replaced the liner, and also replaced the material under the liner
    wish I had done that from the start. Would have saved me a lot of work and aggravation.

    so frustrating. That means that ive got to break the cement around my pond and redo it just to replace the liner
