Sounds like trouble Brewin.

The best way, with a pond that size, is to have a professional come take a look at this.

You have some serious problems with it. Or it could be something small that the previous owners could not be calculated.

But because it is in disrepair, a professional should be able to tell you what needs to be determined. Hopefully not the investment should be replaced.

If the investment is leaking, the leak must be found and repaired, which could be very costly.

It is possible the previous owner drained it for liability reasons, but at 5 foot deep hole in the ground is a big responsibility, too. Possible tenants to pierce the liner.

You should inquire about the particular brain before doing anything else.

You will need to perform two experiments and may have to wait until next spring to take, depending on your climate. First fill the reservoir with water and then just let it sit for a few days.

You will notice if the water drops dramatically.

Then turn on the waterfall (my experience, most leaks are the waterfalls and stream beds) sit back and see if the water level drops dramatically.

If there are no leaks, then a thumbs up to the prochorisei.Telos: There are a multitude of website out there with information about ponds and pond maintenance, below are just a connection that can be started.
