Last fall, I found that the big waterfall was leaking and did my best to stop it. Husband, for some reason, won't agree to using stuff you all have recommended...that sealant product. OK, whatever. The pond guy, for whatever reason, did not put a liner from the spill box and rocks into the pond. So I managed to get husband to agree to shut down the big waterfall for the winter after the pond guy said the same thing. Through the winter we had one good pump running and the blubbers.
EDIT - I thought the smaller waterfall was not leaking but it looks like it is. Hard to tell without moving very heavy rocks. I have called another couple of pond guys. Maybe one of them can move that rock and say for sure.
If I am wrong, tho, and it is not leaking from that spot, I see no other solution but for someone to drain the pond and see what the heck is going on. I am not thrilled putting more money into this pond. It's one thing after another. It's been a money pit, truly. An obscene amount of money has been spent.
One good thing, though, a little frog was hanging out in the pond yesterday as I prepared to scrub algae off some rocks. I did not, though. I did not want to disturb the little guy.
P.S. Does anyone have or recommend any good Youtube videos to watch on pond making? I know there is a wealth of experienced ponders here. Thanks. I'm in northern Delaware.
