Posted: 26 May 2004 Topic: pond water - can I use tap?



We have a 1 year old  pond approx. 4m x 3m . 80 cms at deepest point - but very shallow round the edges.

We have some tadpoles (not many but I'm proud of them!)

For some reason the pond is losing water - I think because it's seeping into surrounding soil due to way we've laid the liner. Water level has dropped by about 10 cms in 2 weeks. I appreciate I need to fix this but meantime can I top up the pond with tap water gradually over a couple of weeks - or must I let the water stand first? 

(I'm a working mother of 2 small kids and husband at present unfit due to a bad back - I would prefer to top up with a hose if possible to save time).

Thanks

Thanks everyone! I'll get the hose out now (and bet it'll then rain for  a fortnight!)
