Thank you! | I found a dead frogs skull pushed through the bottom of a pond liner once  , small pebbles or stones could have the same effect if stood on, can you think of an event that may have caused the leak that could help trace it

I'm 99% sure that the leak's been caused by a cat's claw, as the pond seems to be a popular watering hole for all the local moggies. So you can see why I'm having trouble finding such a tiny hole in the liner!
I did think that butyl liners were supposed to seal themselves around small holes, but this one hasn't done that so far, and the leak's been present for several weeks now.
I'm going to wait for a still day and try out Coasty's polystyrene bead tip.
So, fingers crossed..... |

Never heard of a butyl liner sealing its self. | | | |
