Hello,i have a 1/3 acre pond in upstate NY by Cooperstown NY.I believe there is a seasonal spring that feeds one spot in the bottom of the pond at one end.The seasonal spring comes from up above the pond and down a gradual slope under ground to the pond.I see shail in the bottom of the pond 5 foot deep side that is wet when the pond is down The other end of the pond is 10 feet deep when full and goes to 5 feet deep when the pond is low. I lose 1 inch of water per day starting in May.Being full in March and April. I am going to try to dam off the under ground spring by digging down and making a hole,fill it wth gravel #2 and than put a pipe in the top of the hole to feed the top of the pond. I also will have to put clay back to seal where the shail is now exposed in the pond. I read about DB110 and DB200 and would like to buy that also to out in my pond at the shail.Any body try that stuff before??? Thanks john
narrowfarm welcome to the PB Forum, that's a neat looking hourglass shaped pond you have. I can sympathize with you on the problems of a leaky pond, my Dam has leaked starting a year after it was built, but it was done low cost and the soil here is very poor. If it wasn't for the siphon supplying water from a stream I would have no pond.
As far as the DB100, I used it 2 1/2 years ago, it slowed the leak but didn't last, but the leak I had was probably too large for this product to seal. Here's a link to the disussion on DB100.
