. . . thanks for your reply, what you say makes sense and calms me down a bit ! This is the first time there has been any real evidence of water leaching through the pond wall, and the rain was quite heavy and persistant. The water amounts to a puddle really and seems to be coming in where the 2 bottom drain pipes leave and rise up out of the pond. The filter house floor is still open to the elements so water could well be finding it's way into the pond that way.
I intend to render and fibreglass the pond and from what you say this is still possible. I guess a good layer of fibreglass should certainly waterproof the walls.
thanks for your advise.
