I am not here or anywhere telling anyone how this or that should have been done but if i was doing it for me i would have made the shed a bit bigger and configured the filter system so that a viewing window could be put in, a comfortable couch, a small fridge too and a heater. Unfortunately Koi are banned where i live but i kept them almost 50 years ago in UK.
@chrisware8585 hi I got told it wouldn't need it as it s flat plate that presses against a epdm rubber seal on the valve which should completky seal when tightened down, the water must be getting past that to even get to the thread of the outside ring, I think I'll end up replacing it if this tighenten session doesn't work
Did you notice it started leaking when the temperature recently dropped? Only ask as a pond I installed at mine in 2018 has just sprung a leak & also from a ball valve!
I found you by error at the start, you done very well and you should be very proud. Blue Peter gold.

Hi Mate
Did you use PTFE tape on the threads?

This is exactly what I have in mind to build when I move what size if your pond please
3.2 x 2m x 1m deep
you figured out the leak yet? could need the internals of the valve tightening, let me know if you need any more help
@@cwdpond hi mate tightened it up.proper with a tool off amazon seems to have stopped it now :)

@mikesaunders6132 noticed it 2 weeks after I fitted, I have proper tightened it up now and it seemed to have stopped :) it was just a drip
