How to deal with the seepage problem to increase the retention of your pond or reservoirs?12/20/2021 Dribbling is a very common and usual trait of the water that almost every owner of pond or reservoir or farmer faces. We have formally named this dribbling “Seepage”. You can spot your pond or reservoir water also in normal time and especially after a heavy shower to leak through by a narrow channel from one place to another. Generally it happens due to ground water level rising in soil that creates hydrostatic pressure. Whenever you spot seepage you should take action to stop it immediately or it can be really harmful for your aquaculture.
So, to stop this seepage and maintain the clean water level and quality at your storage you need to put a barrier in the water and those channels. In one word the solution of the seepage is Pond Lining Films or Pond liners. What are a Pond Lining Films /Pondliner? In a very layman’s language we can call it a synthetic barrier that is made of mainly plastic tarpaulin materials used to retain water and lining for the pond, reservoirs, and retention basins etc. For backyard and artificial pond or stream making liners are must use material. As pondliners are impenetrable by liquids, these are very helpful to prevent the seepage problem anywhere. Pondliners are only used for the prevention of Seepage problem? Every pond has a leakage problem through the pond base. Even if you have solved the seepage/leakage problem, you should install a liner for many reasons, like:
May 17, 2019 | Case Study "Water became clear from murky green after using your product." - Jim D. (https://nualgiponds.com/case-studies/) What type of Pond lining film should be used for Seepage problem? There are almost seven types of pond lining film are there available in the market. But all the Pond liners have some common work to provide security and protection for the pond. The liners need to fit the uneven pond surface very well that used to be weathering and frost resistant. All the liners are generally compatible for fish and plants because they are environmentally neutral. So what’s the difference in all these seven? They masters in different purpose and the material, thickness and flexibility used to be different in them. They are:
From these 7 type of liners Reinforced Polyethylene (RPE) liners and Reinforced Polypropylene (RPP) liners can be really helpful to prevent seepage or leakage problem. It is one of the most durable pond liners and this geomembrane is wieldable, fish safe and resistant to uv rays and chemicals. So the material used to be very successful as a barrier to prevent the liquids or water to flow out through the narrow passage. But it must be installed properly. Only a good installation can give you the best result. A proper guidance and consultation while installation is strongly recommended.

The first question that arises is what is a Pond Liner?
Pond Liner is an impenetrable, water-repellent geomembrane used to retain liquids. It is used as a lining of reservoir, retention basins, hazardous and nonhazardous confinements, ponds or garden ponds, artificial streams. Now let’s talk about the uses and advantages of a pond liner: Pond liners provide security and protection for the pond. It fits the uneven pond surface very well and it is weathering and frost resistant. It is compatible for fish and plants because they are environmentally neutral. Now, coming to the types and usage of different pond liners: Seven different types of pond liners are available and each serves different purposes and they also vary in material, thickness and flexibility.
2. LLDPE (low density polyethylene) It is made from the same plastic as HDPE but the density is low. It is weldable and suitable for fish and functions well in typical pond temperature. It is more flexible, soft and pliable. 3. RPE (reinforced polyethylene) It is one of the most durable pond liners and this geomembrane is weldable, fish safe and resistant to uv rays and chemicals. 4. FPP (flexible propylene) This liner made of fpp can take a lot of strain and is pliable even at -50°c. Fpp liners are fish safe, moderately priced and have a lifespan of 30 years. 5. PVC (polyvinyl chloride) PVC liners are exceptionally flexible and can very easily fit the uneven coarse surface of the pond bed. It can be folded without the risk of cracking it. 6. EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) EPDM is a synthetic rubber and a very popular geomembrane. This pond liner is soft and durable and can endure extreme temperature. It can also resist puncture and UV rays. It is nontoxic to fish and has a lifespan of 27years. 7. Butyl Butyl geomembranes are similar to EPDM and are nontoxic to fish and they function well in both cold and hot temperatures. It cannot be welded so it has to be seamed with adhesive. |
