Lessons Learned

It’s interesting to take apart a pond that’s been in use for a few years. I’ll attach some pictures of the issues I came across. The original pond was made up of two separate ponds. One professional built and one added later by the previous homeowner.

Some of the issues I found were:
Leaking, I had to add a lot of water every day to maintain the level
Crushing of plastic skimmer box, notice the picture of the buried skimmer box, the sides are crushed from the dirt surrounding it.
Dirty, it hadn’t been cleaned in several years. There was about a foot of muck in the Bio-Falls and the second pond.
Landscaping, most of the rocks had fallen into the pond.
