How to Build a Backyard Pond in ONE Day steps 8-20

What happens here

Once all checks are complete, turn on the pond pump. Observe the water flow over the waterfall and into the pond. Then, thoroughly check for any leaks around the edges of the liner, especially where the edge treatment connects with the surrounding landscape. Look for any unintended seepage or water loss, which could indicate a problem with the liner installation or sealant.

Goal: Initiate water circulation and identify any leaks
