    I'm a pond contractor of 30 years experience. In 2024 I used the seek leak from TJ on 2 ponds. Both had never held more than a foot of water for 20 plus years. Both are sealed and over flowing for the first time ever.

      @SeekLeak Worked like a charm TJ. We are in a drought and I'm down 18". Which is great. If I had to guess. I'd say I cut the leak by 75%. And still have a 3rd of the product left. Grateful to you and we've been blessed with no Hurricane activity. But I could use a week of rain.

    Thank you for this test and your analysis of these two products. I've already purchased the Damit and we will pray it fixes our pond leak.
    Do you know if the air temperature or, water temperature will affect applications effectiveness?

    • @newnatureadventures
      @newnatureadventures  3 місяці тому

      You’re welcome. I did the same thing too. I bought Damit first. It may work….it all depends on how large the leak is, and if it hits the mark. For is, our leak was so large, that the lesser expansion of the Damit didn’t seem to effect it. I know others that have had some success with it. Hope you’re in that camp.
      As for temperature, I don’t know for sure if it affects the expansion of the polymer a lot. But I would plan to apply it before water temps drop below 50 degrees. Warmer is better in general I would think. That being said, I might try an application through the ice this winter just to test it directly over where I know we have leaked in the past.

    Does it get hardened overtime or just turned into rubber-like material? Great comparison video you made!

    • @newnatureadventures
      @newnatureadventures  10 місяців тому +1

      Good question. I’m not entirely sure. In my test, when I cleaned out the glass jars, it was firm, but still jelly-like. But, my substrate in the test was sand. The polymer is designed to chemically adhere to clay. So when you put it in a pond with a clay bottom, I believe it will become more solid when it bonds to clay. As I continue to watch our application in our pond bottom and how the polymer ages mixed with the clay bottom, I’ll have a better idea. Thanks for watching and for the question. I’ll try to provide an update as I am able to confirm your question with more time and info.

    Can you use this whether or not you have a liner in your pond. Also, do you sprinkle it over the entire pond or where you suspect there is a leak. Thank you

    • @newnatureadventures
      @newnatureadventures  Місяць тому

      This is meant for use in clay ponds without a plastic liner. It could conceivably work in a plastic lined pond, but I don’t know. The polymer is designed to bond with clay particles. It’s best to start in the area that you suspect the leak to be. You don’t want to have to treat the entire pond if you don’t have to. I would start where you suspect it, and then wait and take daily measurements to track the leak rate progress. Most common areas are along the dam, at the overflow pipe if it was cut through the dam, and the your deepest basin in the pond. Your deepest part is obviously under the most pressure from the water, and that pressure finds the weak spots and once water starts running, it erodes and creates bigger holes. Where do you suspect yours is leaking? Ours was in the deepest part.

      Was that sand area intended to be a beach? If so, I would suspect that paper-like material you see is a landscape fabric to go under the sand to try and prevent weeds from growing up in the sand. We opted not for a beach because we feared that the sand would just get washed into the pond deeper. I would not suspect your leak to be from under that area if in fact it was a beach in that area. Maybe I’m not picturing this properly though. Do you know how much water you’re losing each day? Happy to help! And thanks for watching!
