💯 So thankful for him! I’ve learned so much from him. I just want to send more people his way not just because his process and product worked for us, but because he’s invested in our solution and seeing it through to completion and not just out to make a sale….and shares his experience and knowledge to educate. Glad you’ve had the same experience! Thanks for watching and checking in!
Did you have vegetation on bottom of pond when you treated? Tj said can't treat with vegetation and I have two ponds I'm working on that have vegetation growth.
@@scottreese5492 I had some in the shallow rim around the edge of the pond…out to 5’ or so. But I only treated the deep part of the pond…and veg doesn’t grow that deep in our pond. I agree that the polymer will get stuck on leaves of the plants and fail to reach the clay bottom. So are thinking of a chemical treatment to kill off all plants? What’s the next step?
We've had some luck with bentonite, but they were much smaller granules (between sugar and flour consistency) , and after a couple of days, it seems to expand well into one uniform layer of slime but it needs to be applied directly onto the leak for it to do the trick
@@patrickpruden6907 Glad you’ve had some success. I know the bentonite comes in different forms…powder and granular. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
Well you’ve got me considering using a polymer now. I have a pond that leaks pretty bad. I believe I have a floor leak. When I fill it it leaks faster. It’s a little over a quarter acre. Guess I’ll be pricing this out to see if it’s do able.
TJ’s your guy! 1/4 acre…even if you had to treat the whole thing would probably be no more than 2 units. If you can pinpoint the leak from one side or another that narrows the treatment area. How much vertical water loss do you get per day when it’s full? The more full your pond, the more pressure it creates on the bottom. So what you’re seeing makes sense. Thanks for watching. Let me know how I can help. Give TJ a call!
Thanks for watching. Bentonite’s purpose is to be compacted into a dry clay bottom. It serves a different application. Once water is in the pond, bentonite doesn’t seal the bottom. It falls straight down, and even if you could get it to fall into the leaks, it doesn’t expand as much as the seek leak. There’s a place for bentonite, but just not in a pond that already has water in it. That’s where the two part polymer is effective.
You’re absolutely correct about TJ! He is very knowledgeable about ponds and is generous with his time

Helpful as always. You have so much footage to work with!

Love your videos but why not put bentonite over leaks like seak leak?
