hi all some advice and help would be most greatful.
I have a pond that's 7yrd old, 7ft by 6ft and about 3ft deep at lowest level.
I have a pump, filter and waterfull.
The pond has various plants and some goldfish.
For the past 3 days my pond has been decreasing water around 4inches lost per day.
The first day I turned the pump and water fall off. Checked for any signs of leaks - couldn't find any but kept it off for 24hours - water still drained.
The second day I checked for holes in liner, I couldn't find any - so refilled ... next morning pond still went down 3inches ..
The following day I then bought a new liner - took forever to sort pond out yesterday. Feeling confident I filled up the pond, turned pump & filter back on - relaxed ... awoke to another 4inches lost.
Maybe it's the plants - so I have taken them mint out and within 12hrs it has lost another 2inches ..
Is this really evapartion ?? Yes we have had hot 3 days in Lincolnshire 22degrees but that's a lot of water lost due to heat ??? Any ideas would be helpful x thank you all in advance x blessings
