I have a concrete pond that is 2 feet deep and over 30 years old. It has one crack all the way through it with minimal displacement. It does slowly leak water.
What can I fix /fill the crack with?
Lowes recommended Dry Lok Hydraulic cement. It comes as a powder and you have to mix it.
The pond store recommended a pond caulk material that comes in the kind of tube that uses a caulk gun. But the tube says it is ready for painting with a pond sealant after 12 hours. And I was not planning to paint the pond.
Any tips on which to use and why?
I do not want to convert to a liner pond because it has a steep drop off and no shelves to it would be too hard to hide the liner all the way around.
It is empty and dry now. But it will get a fresh life once the crack is fixed. I bought all ingredients to make a bog filter with a waterfall and bring it back.
It is 2 feet deep, 4 feet by 5 feet x 2 sections with a 6 feet long by 2 feet wide x 1 foot deep connecting section between them with a bridge over it to the back yard. It was a selling feature for the house.
Thanks for any help!
