Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Muddy water bullheads

I would too any significant leaks. But I could see where certain situations it might help.

If you are putting clay particles in suspension and over time they tried to flow through soil they might eventually plug up the porosity.

At least if you were trying to do the opposite, pass dirty water through a filter, the filter would eventually plug even though you didn't want it to.

I can see where dirty water might eventually fix a problem like inadequate compaction. Heck I have seen calcium and iron in hard water fix a leak in a metal pipe thread joint after a while.

But if a leak is actually flowing enough to cause erosion rather than just seepage, dirty water likely would not be adequate.
