Had some fish loss over the winter and my pond guy suggested salting the pond which would get rid of parasites. Dosed with 1/3 the amount diluted in water and got up the next day to a pond with over 1/2 the water gone.
I googled it and found information that indicated using salt could cause small cracks, etc. to start leaking. My pond guy said he never heard of that.
I shut the pump off and filled the pond to the top last night and there was no water loss this morning. Did some more looking around down the stream and along the sides for any evidence...none...turned the pump back on and topped off the pond and 3 hours later it's down less than 1/4".
Thoughts?
