Last week was a little demanding in the way of finding a leak. This pond had a leak somewhere. after determining that the  water falls leaked when running. An extensive dismantle finally produced a couple rodent holes, under the large stone. The next day we had a message that it was leaking again. We then filled the pond, and with out turning the waterfalls on waited, and watched the water level in the pond.  Sure enough the water went down four inches by the end of the day. by removing some rocks around the perimeter of the pond we soon found another set of holes. The holes were patched, The pond refilled.Again we did not turn it on. The next morning the home owner called telling us the water had gone down again. OK This was getting a little frustrating for everyone involved.On our return we removed all the rocks  from the pond. This was when we discovered several more holes in the liner all of them only the size of a pencil eraser. After patching these olso, We repeated or now daily routine. The next day we were happy to be informed that the water level hadnt moved. Whew
