It's too early to tell if the Bentonite clay I purchased here does the trick. My research tells me it should, if applied properly. I'm waiting for the right weather conditions to proceed any further with my pond repair.
This review is based on my assessment of the following properties: quality (yup, it's definitely top quality Bentonite clay), availability (yup they had it), price (price is reasonable for what you're getting), and overall standing of the company. (good website, good testaments from other buyers, quick delivery).

I haven't used the product,
Harold K. · May 14, 2026Verified Buyer
I haven't used the product, the sales person told me the hole needed to be dry then packed with the product, and it has been raining every other day it seems keeping the water level up. Maybe by mid summer will be dry enough. So I cannot give it any more stars until I really know how and if it works.

I ordered two 45 lb bags to use during repair of a standpipe in a pond. I mixed the bentonite with clay and backfilled around the work area. The bentonite was packaged well and easy to mix into the local clay.

Great Product!
Randy G. · July 8, 2023Verified Buyer
his product works very well.!I had a small leak in my pond . I was pretty sure where it was leaking at . I perched some of the bentonite clay. After my pond went dry I ran a skid steer it removed some of the soot where the leak was and added some clay and a couple of 45lb of bentonite clay. Since then we got some good rain. It has been a month since and still holding. I think that this product played a big role in selling my leak. A+ product!

Doug W. · June 22, 2023Verified Buyer
After locating the leak(s) I distributed several handfuls of Bentonite in the area and raked it in. After it expanded the leak has stopped. I will caution users that a handful or two goes a long way.

Pond was drained. I had a very good idea of where the leaks were. I mixed the granules with the soul from the pond as recommended and packed it on the bank filling all of the holes with clay. Still leaking.

Thanks for the extra bag.
Francis V. · July 2, 2022Verified Buyer
The sodium bentonite clay did seal my problem and it did require the full 45lb. bag. The thing is the water found another way out. This winter or spring, I will be able to completely seal it. Thanks, again.

It stopped our pond leak!
Keena W. · June 5, 2022Verified Buyer
We had been losing water out of our 1/3 acre pond but we couldn’t drain it to mix bentonite in with the soil because it’s stocked. We bought five 45-lb bags and spread it generously along 3/4 of the banks and throughout the water. It immediately made a difference. It’s been sunny and hot since we applied it and our pond has maintained its level. It was worth every penny!

Awesome dam hole plugging
Daniel G. · December 29, 2021Verified Buyer
Your sodium bentonite clay worked awesome! I had a specific area, perhaps started by a muskrat years ago, sucking water and soil right through the dam lowering the pond about a foot so it wouldn't go over our outlet. We dug a trench with an excavator about 10 feet long x 1 foot wide x 4 feet deep. I only used 2/ 45 lbs. bags by mixing it with clay dirt 1/8 parts approximately. Now, just a few days later the overflow is overflowing again without any significant rainfall. I've tried other ways half a dozen times but never did it fill back in so well nor did it last.

My application was opposite to
Allen D. · December 18, 2021Verified Buyer
My application was opposite to most. I needed to keep the water out of a below grade water valve distribution box, which was filling with water, as opposed to keep the water in as in pond sealing. Filled the outside perimeter with Bentonite layered with soil.
It took over a week to completely seal, but it did. :)
