Air under liner

[woodturner with koi]

Well after this heat spell the water level in my pond was low and some how it seems that air has gotten under the liner, I filled the pond back up, is there an easy way to get that air out. I thought adding the water would do that, but it hasn't, any ideas??? thanks

Hmmmmmmm, I've heard of water under the liner but not air. Hope someone else can help you.

The water is trapped below your liner. and that amount of water is under more pressure than is the water in the liner. Thus it takes the path of least resistance. Today its lifting the liner it's apparently less work then finding a way out through the soil.

So the solution is to dig along side the liner and get down to the area that has the water in. Then install pipes or underliner drain pipes once the water finds the new way out it should stop having the ability to lift the liner.. This is called the hippo.

the problem has been fixed, not sure if I answered before. I had forgotten that awhile ago we had to add a second liner over top of the original one. Some how when we refilled water go in between the 2. I used my syphon to pump it all out and everything is good, sorry for this late reply, its another one of those senior moments ))))

Glad you evicted the hippo
