If your pond is leaking check your waterfall first. Turn off the pump, fill up the pond. Wait until tomorrow. If the water is still in the pond, it was leaking from the waterfall. Turn the pump on and you wil probably see the problem right away. Shift the rocks around and your pond is just fine again.

If you have a liner leak and you are above sea level, pour a bit of fine sand in the water...it will gravitate toward the leak.

Cut pond plants back to nubs just before winter and they will return in the spring happy and brand new.
