Finding and repairing a leak in pond liner can be a challenging task. Make sure you have the right materials on hand to effectively seal the leak. Important: Carefully check whether the leak is caused by a one-time damage or because the pond liner has aged and needs to be replaced. If the liner is old, repairing it is often pointless, and you can expect leaks to occur again shortly. In that case, it is better to replace the liner entirely. Tip: Consider EPDM liner if you need a new pond liner. Although it’s more expensive, it’s significantly stronger and lasts up to three times longer than standard PVC liner. A leak in your pond is something you’ll want to fix right away. With the PVC Liner Repair Kit, you can effectively and easily repair damage to your pond liner. This kit includes high-quality, soft PVC adhesive and a 20 x 40 cm piece of PVC liner, so you can get started right away and get your pond back in top condition. How do I locate a leak in my pond? How do you fix a pond leak? What causes a leaky pond? A leak in the bottom: the pond drains completely. This leak may be caused by the pond liner aging. PVC pond liner lasts an average of 8–10 years, while EPDM pond liner lasts an average of 20 years. If this period has passed without the liner being replaced, there is a risk that a leak will develop in the pond and that the pond will drain.

Repairing a Leaky Pond: Tips for Locating and Fixing the Leak
About this product
What makes this product special
If the water level remains lower but at the same level, the hole in the wall will be above the current water level. This is helpful. Add a few centimeters of water to the pond and look along the pond’s edge to see if you can find the leak. You can do this, for example, with a colored liquid like milk, so you can see where the water is flowing; this will be where the leak is. You can patch the leak just like an air mattress using a repair kit available in stores.
If the hole is in the bottom, the pond will drain completely. You’ll have to wait for this to happen before you can locate the leak. Once the pond is nearly empty, you can try the same tactic with the milk again in the small amount of water remaining at the bottom.
Finally, with older ponds, the liner may have worn out, causing water to slowly seep away. This is more common with ponds lined with PVC liner, as it has a shorter lifespan than rubber liner—about 8 to 10 years versus at least 20 years. In this case, the entire pond will need to be drained and relined. Check out the step-by-step guide for building (or rebuilding) a pond.Quality and origin
Lower the water level well below the leak.
Thoroughly clean the area around the leak, for example with rubbing alcohol.
Check if a sharp object is causing the leak and remove it if necessary.
Depending on the type of liner (PVC or EPDM), purchase a suitable repair kit from a garden or pond center or online. For PVC liners, use PVC adhesive and a piece of liner; for EPDM, use rubber adhesive and a piece of rubber liner.
Once the leak has been repaired, you can refill the pond.Practical Information
Causes of pond leaks: If a pond is leaking, the liner is no longer watertight. This can be caused by:
A leak in the wall: the water stops dropping once the leak level is reached. This problem can also be caused by aged pond liner, but it may also be due to an animal gnawing a hole in the liner or plant roots piercing the liner, which may have already become somewhat porous.
Porous PVC liner: patching won’t help; the liner needs to be replaced. PVC liner lasts 8–10 years, whereas rubber liner (EPDM) takes at least 20 years to become porous.

The water is finally clear
Purchased: Native Pond Kit 1,500–3,000 L
No matter what I tried, the water in my pond just wouldn't clear up. After exchanging a few emails, I decided to order this complete kit, though to be honest, I wasn't very confident it would work.
The delivery was in good condition and the plants looked healthy. Not much changed during the first few weeks, but after about a month, the water slowly began to clear up.
Now the pond is really in perfect balance. The plants are growing well, and I can even see frogs among the leaves again. I'm really glad I gave this a try.

Plants are growing much better now, and the water is crystal clear
Purchased: STEP ONE Pond substrate
Last year, I had a landscaper install a plant filter in my swimming pond, and he recommended lava rock and some plants from the local garden center. Unfortunately, it all went wrong; the plants died one by one, and I ended up with an algae infestation.
After contacting vdvelde, I was advised to replace the lava rock with Pond substrate to order some additional plants. Now, a few months later, the plants are growing well, and my filter is finally free of algae.

My little city pond
Purchased: Pond Kit Red 100-400L
I’d been dreaming of having a small pond in my city garden for a while, but it always seemed like such a hassle. I found a complete kit online and decided to take a chance, even though I was skeptical about the quality of plants sent by mail. But to my surprise, everything arrived neatly and securely packaged. In no time at all, I had set up my little pond. To my delight, I saw the first water lily bloom after just two months, and as the icing on the cake, I discovered salamanders in my pond. No idea how they got there, but it just makes it even more fun. Truly a joy!

Blue lily: beautiful!
Purchased: Blue Water Lily
Thank you very much for the generous shipment of the marsh irisIris blue”.
The new plants have been planted, and I'm curious to see if they'll bloom this year.
There’s good news about theBlue queenwater lily: It blooms in blue here too—and it’s absolutely stunning!

Removing floor debris without a vacuum cleaner
Purchased: POND CARE Maintenance Kit
After years of accumulation caused by fish, a significant amount of silt had built up in my pond.
At first, I was thinking about getting a pond vacuum, but after talking to customer service, I decided to go with the bottom debris removal kit. I was skeptical, especially since the water got cloudy during the first week. But after a month, the sludge has decreased significantly. No hassle with a vacuum, and a great result!
I’m a fan.

Water lilies greater biodiversity
Purchased: Native Water Lily Field XL
As plant lovers, we were looking for a sustainable addition to our project. The Water lilies vdvelde turned out to be just what we were looking for. Planting the lilies was also a lot of fun. We had requested different varieties, and that wasn’t a problem at all. The delivery was handled professionally, and everything looked great. Within a week, we already saw leaves emerging above the water, and now several flowers are blooming.
Both we and our client are extremely pleased with the result.

Oxygen-producing plants save my fish
Purchased: Oxygenating Plants Package 1,500–3,000 L
My fish were gasping for air, so I looked for an air pump. Then I read that oxygenating plants could solve this problem too. I ordered the package that fits my pond, and now my fish are swimming around carefree again. An added bonus: my pond water is much clearer. Happy fish, happy me!

The service and advice were excellent—much better than at the garden center, where nobody really knows anything.
