I accidentally put a hole in an underground water pipe. The pipe is about
3" in diameter and is flexible plastic. It runs from a pond skimmer to the
top of a mound to supply water to a waterfall. The hold is about 1/2"
square. Can I plug the hole somehow to stop the water from seeping out?

Thank you

What ever they are and where do you get them? The water is not potable of
course but the pump that drives it does about 3000 gallons an hour. Do you
think it will still work?

Thanks a bunch.

Used to be a tire patch that filled the hole and expanded a bit so it
wouldn't come out. Would this work?
