Troubleshooting
Pond liner has a puncture.
Use a pond liner repair kit to patch the hole following the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the area is clean and dry before applying the patch.
The liner is not settling correctly.
Ensure the pond base is smooth and free of sharp objects. Allow more time for the liner to settle and stretch. You can also add some weight, such as rocks, to help it settle.
The liner is leaking.
Check for any visible punctures or tears. Inspect around the edges where the liner meets the surrounding ground. If found, repair the leak with a suitable patch kit. Ensure proper sealing around any pipes or fittings.
The liner is not the right size.
Double-check your measurements before purchasing. If it's too small, you'll need to purchase a larger liner. If too large, you can trim the excess, ensuring you don't compromise the pond's seal.
