Darn Sissy that is a bummer. I was hoping your would find out what was wrong.

I don't get it though I have not lost any water but the waterfall pond pump and filter are not on yet or put back together .i looked closely at the liner inch by inch and no holes at all .I have to get new plumbing parts tomorrow and maybe get it turned back on .It was raining off and on all day .I was soaked and muddy but at least I know it is not there .Can't leak out the sides of the waterfall pond because that is high also .I guess I won't really know until I start the whole thing back up again .

 

[sissy]

the first 2 pics were taken over an hour after the electric went off .Not sure why we had a power outage .Waterfall pond lost no water at all .

 

[sissy]

Rainy day again pond and this shows how full my pond should be .The pond liner goes all the way up to the filter tank .My garden is still producing

I've read that most leaks / water loss, are associated with waterfalls. Since your waterfall pond lost no water during the power outage, do you think your water loss could be from the water fall?

BTW, I love your country door with the moon and stars!

 

[sissy]

That is my outhouse shed it takes good care of my yarden tools .Thank you .Water fall cannot leak since it is part of the 45 epdm pond and is one liner .I have a pvc liner on top of it to protect it fro uv damage and drying out .I inspected the liner with a led high powered light and saw now holes in it ,so that is out and with all this rain again I can't tell if the pond is leaking .It rained all night and has been a light rain today so far

after the storm I gained water and then lost water from the leak .I measured it after i lost water and then again after I found the leak(will upload that later ) .I have had to fill 2 stock tanks to refill the pond .The water from the well is below 40 degrees and need to warm it up so i use the 200 and 200 gallon stock tanks and leave sun warm it up .I bought another pool thermometer because they are easier to read than the pond ones .My great grandbaby also and the proud parents

Sissy, Are the hoops over your pond, for a winter cover?

 

[sissy]

They were for shade cover in the summer but I am going to try plastic over them for the winter and see if it keeps the pond warmer .Never tried it before but figure they are there why not try it out .If it keeps the pond warmer it will save on electric for the pond heater

 

[sissy]

water is almost where it should be .banana leaves from storm damage looks like some one combed them

Had to add this to my pond news my Aunt JoJo's grandson Gino had a private meeting with the pope for prayers for his cancer.fuzzy as they are a repost from his daddy's phone on face book . I hope you can read it as his cancer has no cure and is not responding at all to any treatment .

Thats amazing Sissy. The power of pray can do wonderfull things some times. Will say a prayer for Gino too.

 

[sissy]

He is very sick and is coming back today and he said he will be in church sunday like he always is .He takes oral chemo. and i think the excitement of meeting the pope was a lot for him .He went there not for prayers for himself but for others that are fighting cancer that are children .

end of year builds
