Bentonite for Ponds

Pond Liner

Bentonite pond sealant is a powdered mineral clay that will blend seamlessly with the ecology of your pond. It is free of chemical additions or hazardous materials, therefore you can safely hold it in your hands, use it for a fish or a duck pond, or a wildlife pond. It is especially ideal for stock and farm ponds because it won’t be damaged by the steps and weight of the stock.

If you have nearby vegetation, it is also a great option, because if the plants can’t or won’t be removed, you can arrange the bentonite over it and it will significantly reduce the water seepage, if not eliminate it, without any damage to the ecosystem.
