Designed for customizable application rates based on soil type, it ensures a durable, water-tight barrier while enhancing soil integrity. ## Description Bentonite clay is a natural expanding clay sealant that when exposed to moisture can expand 15X or more creating a very effective pond sealant when applied correctly. Bentonite Clay Application Rates for pond/lake bottoms To properly apply bentonite to seal a pond, the pond must be drained and the bentonite clay then incorporated into the soil of the pond bottom and sides. The application rate for bentonite ranges from 2 pounds to more than 5 pounds per square foot depending on the soil characteristics. For clayey and silty soils, 2 pounds per square foot MAY be sufficient. For sandy soils 4 pounds MAY be sufficient and for soil containing gravel and rock, in excess of 5 pounds will be required to obtain a seal. Once the bentonite is applied, the soil should be disk harrowed to mix the soil and bentonite and then compacted. Alternatively, a continuous blanket of bentonite can be applied to the soil and then carefully covered with clean soil or sand to prevent the clay from mobilizing into the water column. Review: Worked like a charm - So, the Natural Waterscapes Granular Sodium Bentonite Clay for Pond Sealing has fixed my leaking pond! The leak was around the concrete drain. The leak was so bad there was a large cavity about four feet deep and 30 feet long running along the outside of the drainpipe. I dug out the area around the drain about a two foot cube, that was the beginning of the big cavity. I mixed the bentonite clay in with the dirt I had dug up and tamped in around the concrete drain. I then filled in the rest of the cavity with dirt from the farm. The pond filled up after several rains and has been at its normal level for two weeks. There is no discernible drop in the water level. For reference my pond is roughly 150 feet in diameter and 10 feet deep at the deepest point. I would recommend making sure you order enough as the one bucket barely did my project. I would say I removed 5-6 large wheelbarrows full of dirt from the leaking area and then mixed the clay in. If I had to remove anymore dirt I don't think one bucket of bentonite clay would have been enough. Review: Pleasantly surprised, one bag seemed to be enough - I evenly sprinkled one, 50 pound bag in a damaged live stock pond that had very deep cracks in the clay. I wasnt expecting it to work as well as it did. We had a hard rain the following day and as you can see it is holding water again. I didnt mix it tap ot or anything. Just sprinkled it evenly and more heavily in the cracks. Due to cost restrictions, I will be using a pure lumping clay kitty litter instead as it is the same thing and much cheaper, to seal the remaining areas that need to be sealed. This stuff DOES work, but its pricey. Our pond was completly dried out and really sad looking. Its about a 10 x 25 ft pond. If you can afford this stuff, definitely get it. ## Features - Expanding Clay for Pond Sealing - Granular Sodium Bentonite Clay - Soil Amendment - Expands in contact with water ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01HSFQR1K | | Best Sellers Rank | #273,506 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #160 in Water Garden & Pond Liners & Seals | | Brand | Natural Waterscapes | | Brand Name | Natural Waterscapes | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 207 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00860625000300 | | Item Dimensions | 25 x 15 x 15 inches | | Item Form | Granules | | Item Weight | 45 pounds | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 25 x 15 x 15 inches | | Manufacturer | Natural Waterscapes | | Material | Natural Bentonite Clay | | Material Type | Natural Bentonite Clay | | Model | 200045 | | Part Number | 200045 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Natural Waterscapes - **Item Form:** Granules - **Item Weight:** 45 pounds - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 25 x 15 x 15 inches - **Material:** Natural Bentonite Clay ## Images ![Natural Waterscapes Granular Sodium Bentonite Clay for Pond Sealing 45 lbs - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/515z2abCEgL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Do you have the complete characterizations and indices of this bentonite?

As with any "minus mesh" screened product, all particles are smaller than the mesh opening. Bentonite Swell Index = 30 Bentonite Percent Moisture = 16.6%Aged Fann 600 = 34.0 (measure of viscosity)pH = 7.75 **Q: Is this the same clay that can be used as a detox internally and use topically?** A: Sodium bentonite clay can also be used for these purposes. Natural Waterscapes sells the sodium bentonite for the purpose of sealing pond leaks. This product is not food grade and should not be ingested. Natural Waterscapes 877-493-7660 **Q: would this work to make a stock pond?** A: Bentonite is used to seal soil for leaking/ or new ponds. Depending on soil type we recommend anywhere from 2-8lbs of bentonite per square foot of pond area. (2-3lbs for good/poor clay, 4-8lbs for sandy soil types). Natural Waterscapes **Q: I want to make a duck pond. I have a low area on my property that holds water when it rains. Could i rotatill this in with dirt and will it stay there** A: Tilling the bentonite with soil and then compacting it with a pad foot roller is the recommended method for pond bottom sealing. Depending on the soil type, it will require 2 to 6 pounds per square foot of pond bottom. You may want to look for it in 2,000 lb bulk sacks unless it will be a relatively small pond. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked like a charm *by L***E on May 29, 2020* So, the Natural Waterscapes Granular Sodium Bentonite Clay for Pond Sealing has fixed my leaking pond!

We have a lot of springs on our property and one turned out to be right next to the pond. You can try having it professionally repaired but this is relatively easy and just takes a little patience. ## Frequently Bought Together - Natural Waterscapes Granular Sodium Bentonite Clay for Pond Sealing 45 lbs - 50 Pound Benseal Bentonite Drilling Mud Water Well Pond Foundation Seal Waterproof Baroid Grouting Wyoming Sodium Bentonite - Granular Sodium Bentonite Clay for Pond Sealing - Natural Soil Clay Pond Liner 25 Pounds - Blend of Chips and Powder - Use for Pond Leak Repair & Dam Sealer --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/34649915-natural-waterscapes-granular-sodium-bentonite-clay-for-pond-sealing-45](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/34649915-natural-waterscapes-granular-sodium-bentonite-clay-for-pond-sealing-45) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-02*
