Crappy Thanksgiving. Last year my wife had turkey ready by 9:30 pm. I hope she can do better this year.

Ya know....(Brace yourselves.....)

I look at this post. I look at the title of the thread. The parallels my mind draws, and obvious solutions. Presented by the title of the thread, just put a bunch of dots together in my head that need connecting....

Oh wait, maybe I better not....

Being a "Poop" humor related thread.

There's a way to keep the water from freezing......kickstarting the bacterial activity in the water will create some heat.

"I don't drink water, because fish have sex in it" ... LOL!

I guess my humor gauge needs recalibration... :/ ?

anyway I put a 1000 watt pond heater in there and it keeps about half the top from freezing. I am seeing now that I am losing about 200gal of water every time the pump shuts down at night... about 1/5th of the total volume.... no muddy (or frozen places) around the pond so where the heck can it be going? NOT evaporation or ice... must be overflowing into an underground path somewhere. Come springtime I will have to dig up the perimeter of the pond and find where the rubber is damaged or didnt get installed high enough? THEN the fish will get what is coming to them...LOL

Your humor doesn't need recalibration. I'm the sick one.

200 gal? Holy jeez...that's freakin' excessive. Not a typo I assume.

Gauging by the neighbors pool that has a return pipe cracked down under the pool itself, sounds like you have a similar problem. No obvious water anywhere, and it continuously disappears.

You might have a cracked return pipe due to the ground contracting from the frost?

[tallannie]

yes.... that is not a typo and I do think it is something like a cracked pipe...or a damaged pond liner above a certain level. it happens EVERY time the pump stops... and no muddy or soft places exist around the pond....so it has to be going some underground path....

Of course it is all buried in frozen ground or covered with landscaping rocks now....so the fix has to wait until spring... sigh..
