Liner tear in winter

Question:

i have approximetly a 5000 gallon pond where a dog or deer has caused damage to the liner, there appears to be a slow leak……i will need to continue adding water during the winter, i live in the blue ridge of virginia…..im sure trying to replace the liner now would cause harm to the fish, but im also concerned about adding water during the winter…..any suggestions

Answer:

Use a good pond water conditioner to alleviate the stress constant water additions may cause your fish. Also see our “Pond Equipment” and “Pond Construction” categories for tips on finding the leak.
