Sorry if this question has been answered but I didn’t find anything specific upon a search. I will be getting a pond loop installed very shortly. I was going to wait until fall so I’d be more ready for the whole process but our existing unit just took a dump on us, so no time like the present eh? I need to get everything done by the time the summer heat hits us.

My question is about the trench into the pond. I’ll be talking to my contractor a bit more about it in these coming days but I figured I’d get a little back knowledge myself on the matter. My understanding is that they have to trench into the pond a few feet down to get below frost line. That worries me because I’m fairly confident that my pond has a clay liner. How is this addressed? What have others done when getting geo installed in pond? This is the biggest obstacle I’m seeing and I don’t want to abandon the project because of it but I don’t want the pond ruined. Thanks for any input!
