asked:


My concrete, above ground fish pond/fountain is built on a solid concrete floor and concrete blocks with some sort of coating (I do not know if it is gunite or concrete). Since the pond was built it has had slow, drizzling leaks onto my patio. I have become confused on the best way to repair the leaks. I tried some type f asphalt roof coating, which did not work and have had to spend many hours of labor and several $’s in paint remover to remove the coating.
I found a websites that advertise Sani-tred pool coating, another advertising pool paint, another advertising Ultra Poly One Coat, another for Aqua-Plex, another for PVC liner, fiberglass, etc.
Does anybody have any suggestions for the best way for me to fix the leaks? The pond/fountain is 3 years old and has no visible cracks. It is 8′ x 8′ x 1.5′

Thank you.

Hi, I have a concrete pond which is brick built on the outside and has a 3 inch concrete layer on the inside. The inside of the pond is then coated with a one inch plaster and then sealed with pond sealant paint. I’ve not had a problem with the pond until now – been fine for over 5 years. The outside of the pond is now leaking water through the brick mortar joint. Luckily it is only around the joint of a single brick but the water seepage is heavy. I have a lot of large Koi in the pond hence want to repair the pond as soon as possible. Is there anyway of sealing the pond at the point of seepage without removing the water? The water seepage is continuous so I need something which will act fast and dry quickly. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I can ultimately allow the water to leak out up until the point it stops however I am concerned that the issue will develop into a serious leak if not resolved asap. The pond is located in Coventry, UK.

I have a decent size pond. I have tried everything to keep the water clear, but still goes a murky green. All the inner walls have a green “fur” on it. It has been cleaned, painted with the correct paint, has a good pump, uv light, the pond plants have been potted in the correct pond soil. Am at a total loss as what else I can do!!

I have a Tetra pond 2500 pump( above ground and a submersible part) it was running fine all spring and summer until today, it acts as if there is no power going to it, although there are no GFIs tripped and there is power at the outlet. Is there a sensor or somthing that would cause this? Or possibly a way to reset the pump? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Is there anything we can do to dry out these muddy ponds? They are muddy ugly and full of mosquitos. Is there anything we can do to the actual ground to stop this from happening each year? If any experts or someone who has been through this with their property can help me out that would be great!!

Thanks!

Thanks
They are very small ponds. No species live in there but mosquitos!
