HELLO ALL. I AM NEW TO THE FORUM. I HAVE A CUSTOM SHAPED WATERFALL AND POND IN MY OFFICE AND IT HAD DEVELOPED A SMALL LEAK THAT I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND. THE TANK WAS BUILT WITH FIBERGLASS WALLS COATED WITH EPOXY. I HAVE TRIED TO RE-EPOXY THE TANK BUT UNABLE TO FIND THE SLOW LEAK. I AM THINKING OF USING A RUBBER LINER TO LINE THE POND. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW I CAN BOND THE LINER TO THE EPOXY WALLS ? I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAN BOND TO THE EPOXY.

HELP AND THANK YOU
 
U saw water on the floor or can it be dry up cos of water fall. The lost of water from water fall is quite great, why not off the waterfall pump and see how much the water go down and that should be the leak of your pond. Just try to figure out for u.
 
thank you for the reply. The water is from a leak. I know there is water loss from the waterfall and from evaporation with large surface area. There is water on the floor even with waterfall off. It does take about three days to appear on the floor so the leak is very slow. This was built with fiberglass and epoxy on metal studs with drywall. The drywall has degraded as it wasn't made for wet environment ( pretty stupid). This created a small gap that has lost support for the fiberglass. I would like to place a custom liner and bond it to the epoxy wall along the waterfall wall.
