If a pond liner tears in a natural swimming pool, it can lead to water loss and disrupt the balance of the ecosystem. The tear might cause water to seep out, which can lower the pond’s water level and affect plant and animal life. Depending on the size of the tear, the filtration system may also be impacted, leading to issues with water clarity and circulation.
If you notice a tear, it’s best to fix it quickly. For small tears, a patch kit designed for your specific liner material can work well. Larger tears might require a more involved repair, like replacing a section of the liner. It’s a good idea to regularly check for wear and tear, especially after heavy storms or extreme weather, to catch any issues early and keep the pond in good shape.
