How often/much do you have to top off your pond on a hot summer day.

[visualkeirockstar 3]

So everyday I have to top off about 2-3 inches daily during the hot days. I have a very small pond so it's not a lot of water I have to put in.

What are the dimensions and volume of your pond? We would greatly appreciate some pond pictures.

 

Since we get almost daily summer thunderstorms in FL, rainfall usually exceeds evaporation. The ponds have overflow pipes to handle the excess.

Roughly where in CA are you? Do you think that the major drought is causing your need to top-off?

My pond used to drop about 2 inches a day due to leaks. Now that I fixed the leaks it's about a quarter inch a day. I have 3 waterfalls which create a lot of splashing which contributes to evaporation.

Are you worried you have a leak?

It probably is leaking but it seems to only do it during the summer. It's made of concrete.

I don't know. My pond is ugly and unprofessional. I'll be too embarrassed to post pictures.

I'm always wondering if I have a leak in the liner.

I fill it up a lot! 50 gallons at a time. Every 2-3 weeks?
