Your right! I saw the video! Luckily I have not been searching for my tea infuser recently.
Oh, it’s an infuser and not a steeper! 😂 I’ll wash it really well!!!
I wonder if you ever saw any of the blue or red dye on the opposite side of the dam? Coming out the other side?
I never did. I didn’t even see a distinct wet area back behind dam. The terrain is hard to navigate, but in my searching, I didn’t see anything. I believe the water was somehow connected to the groundwater system.
Looking down into the hole with the camera is fascinating and eerie and weird. I was gonna ask if you dropped a buoy and of course you do. Saw it here. I really like your sponge idea.
I agree…mysterious and curious to know where it’s all connected to. Whether it goes under the dam and out the back side further beyond the property line, or if it connects directly into the ground water system. I will employ the sponges!!
I would use a big pice of pipe and place it over the hole and above the water and fill it up with some concrete. Concrete will set under water and should creep into the soil of the dam to help seal it up
That’s a good idea. I wonder if adding anything to the concrete to help it expand in the hole would help. Or just straight concrete.
I would mix my concern with extra portland in it.
Look into "Gunk plug" used in oil drilling. Not sure how diesel fuel and concrete/hydraulic cement would effect the fish though.
lololol lauren!
Why not a giant ball of cheese cloth?
Good idea, hadn’t thought of that.
Do you have facebook i have some drawing ideas that i could share to maybe help or inspire an idea of your own.
Thanks for watching and sharing. facebook.com/johnse.bushlack
Take you a peace of pipe that is larger than the hole press it down the best you can to try and seal it that will slow down the water flow out then get you a 12volt pump and pump as much as you can of the water out get you some hole plug or bitenite chips I probably spelled it wrong it will come from somewhere that sells well drilling supplies 50-80lbs bags it’s not super expensive I would get 5 -6 bags you will won’t to dump it down your pipe till your probably 1ft higher than the pond bottom then take your pump and pump water inside the pipe to activate it will swell and seal off your leak I would if possible leave it overnight before removing the peace of pipe
Heavy whipping cream works well for leak detection as well. What polymere are you using?
@pondsbybee thanks for the whipping cream idea, and thanks for watching. I have used Bright Dyes tracer dye to find the leak. I am using Seekleak polymer. It is the wholesale name of Soilfloc that I source through TJ Hudson at Hudland Management. We’ve seen great results.
