Well, must say I'm impressed!
Our dam has always leaked and having got a backhoe in 10 years ago to dig out the old gully line, managed to slow the drainage but then 6 years ago we got the wall raised a few metres and since then its leaked more than it keeps.

Tried about 1/2 ton of bentonite but no improvement, very disheartening watching the level drop from full down by 2.5m in a week or so as thats about 6 months of water for the garden, so were about to get the wall moved and properly cored etc. but my wife saw your add and I bought 20kg of Water$ave.

Having used about 2kg the dam thing seems to be holding!

Its not yet full so will be interesting to see if the higher water level will hold too although as soon as the thing fills up I intend to give it another dose of your magic -  will keep you advised.

Hi,
Here is an update and some photos of our dam we have been treating with your Water$ave Plug. 

Our Dam is now full, at last, following some recent heavy rain.
This has only happened about 4 times since we had the wall raised in 2001, as we are fairly high up on a ridge and need some heavy falls for water to run into it.

Since our message in December, the water has gone up and down a bit with alternating rain and pumping, but every time the water got above the previous level I'd treated, I put some more Water$ave Plug in & it seems to have been holding well each time, and being fuller, as not much had leaked out.

The water level has been going up to where the photos show the brick at the far end of the dam wall and the grevillea at the  waters edge, this was about a month ago and is about 1.5m above the level it used to leak down to.

Last week we got 170mm of rain in a couple of days which by washed the dam for only the 2nd time in 8years and the next photos show where it is now - full, and seems to be holding after putting in some more crystals in to cover the untreated bit.

We now have about 2,000,000 litres more water stored which is more than we usually use in a year and will fill our 15,000gal tank about 40 times.
 
I also gave some Water$ave Plug to a friend for their small dam, which had been leaking by about 2 feet, and last I heard it was fixed too.

Thanks
