Hey! The koi pond that came with my new house could be great, but it needs work. The water level is lower than it once was (maybe a leak?), and the sides are drooping to the point where some of the rocks have fallen into the water.
Looking at the photos, could you please offer your thoughts on how you would go about tackling the water level and edges? If possible, I am aiming to keep it simple, while trying to avoid an ongoing series of band-aid projects.
Finally, I am getting my bearings with how the filtration is setup, but especially concerned with wires that seem to be set up to go into the water (they are secured under rocks in this way)?
Any insights that could point me in the right direction are much appreciated!

- Should I search for a leak?
- Is a leak repair worth it, or should I deal with 3 inches of exposed liner?
- You can see that the rim is formed with foam blocks with the liner over them. I haven't explored deeper. How would you approach straightening them in the least invasive way?
- How about the side, about a foot deep, that is bulging or caving?
