Default Help!!

I have just come to fill my temporary pool that I wanted to use for holding my fish, only to discover it has a small leak

It looks like I'll have to get hold of a vat...my local Koi club has a 6' one for sale at 2'4" deep, so is perfect size wise...for £160.00; does that sound reasonable?

Hiya Miles

Can you not repair the leak?

Goldseal and a patch made of liner?

Dave

I thought about it Dave, but just feel it could be risk too far - if something went wrong whilst I'm at work say. Annoying to say the least!

If the leak is in one of the sides why not get a hole saw and install an extra
drain tap or perhaps a ventuuri where the crack is?

Panic over - have secured a 6ft vat for £130, so not too bad I thought!
