slow leak pond

Right i need to read better, I was thinking the kid index pool 10 x 10 ft steel frame.

Good luck finding one. Apparently there is a shortage of pools due to covid. I followed the intex pools on Facebook, and all I end up seeing if folks crying they can get on or can’t get ahold of the part to fix theirs, and lots of scammers trying to sell pools for excessive prices. Also, lots of new pools have coatings on them that may harm fish, anti fungal, anti bacterial.

Mine wasn't intex but a knock off type. Bought last fall and it wintered the fish indoors nicely no fish loss all winter.

This what I’m using right now. It is mainly for plants until we get the pond re-dug, but I put half a dozen or so goldfish in there to give the plants some fertilizer. It works well, as long as nothing punctures the inflatable ring! Not sure of the volume, but it holds every bit as much water as my 300 gal stock tank. It’s in full sun and the stock tank is in mostly shade. There is a big difference in water temperatures between the 2, and they are roughly the same depth. I bought a new water lily that I hope will add some decent shade. If this entex pool was a small kiddie pool (say, 14” deep), the fish would be fried by now, due to the exposure.
