Regular Member visualkeirockstar Posted July 7, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted July 7, 2015 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member shakaho Posted July 7, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) Welcome to Kokos! Would you introduce yourself here? 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. Edit: Oops! I see you've been a member for a while. I saw your post count and assumed you were brand new.

Do you think that the major drought is causing your need to top-off? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member DieselPlower Posted July 7, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted July 7, 2015 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? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably is leaking but it seems to only do it during the summer. It's made of concrete. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member mysterygirl Posted July 22, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted July 22, 2015 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? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
