I am not here or anywhere telling anyone how this or that should have been done but if i was doing it for me i would have made the shed a bit bigger and configured the filter system so that a viewing window could be put in, a comfortable couch, a small fridge too and a heater. Unfortunately Koi are banned where i live but i kept them almost 50 years ago in UK.
Did you notice it started leaking when the temperature recently dropped? Only ask as a pond I installed at mine in 2018 has just sprung a leak & also from a ball valve!
@chrisware8585 hi I got told it wouldn't need it as it s flat plate that presses against a epdm rubber seal on the valve which should completky seal when tightened down, the water must be getting past that to even get to the thread of the outside ring, I think I'll end up replacing it if this tighenten session doesn't work
I found you by error at the start, you done very well and you should be very proud. Blue Peter gold.

@mikesaunders6132 noticed it 2 weeks after I fitted, I have proper tightened it up now and it seemed to have stopped :) it was just a drip
Hi Mate
Did you use PTFE tape on the threads?
