    Get an Intex 10' round pond.
    When you've finished with it you can add chlorine and go swimming in it
    dont get a swimming pool with an inflatable ring as these get punctured easily

    Hi Andy

    Good idea this is what I used before, but I'm sure I bought a liner for it.

    I think I heard the chemicals in the PVC can affect the water ? or the one i bought had a leak.....

    I used one for my pond rebuild.
    I gave the pool a rinse out then pumped the water from my pond and then plumbed in the pond filter and pump.
    I had no new pond syndrome as everything was established
    My koi were in there for about 6 months
