Thanks again everyone. Most of the water is gone from behind the liner, I will have to get in the pond at some point and try to flatten the liner down again. Got the pump running again. I guess I can look forward to another algae bloom.
Dont ask, I also have a bottom drain, didn't even think about the seal weakening. Ugh!! I was more concerned that there was so much water under the liner that the liner would meet in the middle and push the fish out of the pond.
Addy, my daughter took my rain boots, rain coat and umbrella to school. I had to cut holes in large trash bags, what a sight. I was a little concerned about getting shocked when I plugged the sump pump in. The outlets are GFI and have a cover that closes but it was difficult to keep the plugs dry.
I might try that Tmann. I have been seriously considering changing the waterfall area to a bog, I might be able to add a low spot. Do you have pictures? I am really more concerned at this point about the water under the liner, not sure what to do about that. If we have another tropical depression, storm or hurricane, I am just going to drain a lot of water from the pond.
