pool as a pond

[thefishnut]

Walmart sells a 14' round pool that is 4' deep how many gallons is this and would it work as a pond?
Question 2 will the pool filter work to keep it clean?
Please let me know what you think they are cheap right now due to the season so i would love to get 1 before thy go up again thanks for the help and if you have any pics.of one done this way please share them.:hang:

Does it have flimsy side? Our pool we had as a kids would slosh if there was a stiff wind. Lost a lot of water that way...would hate to have you wake up one day and see fishies on the ground...

usually its ok if its the pools with the liner sides.. you just have to mak sure you dont have anything sharp in there.. and the pool filter removes particles on the water but theres very little biological filtration...

do you have a link for the pool? So we can evaluate it?

Hmm, wouldn't it be cool to have a clear one of these, http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=3999073


Only $199.99 holds 3,754 gallons at 80% full.

I used one as a temp. home to move fish when I had a leaking tank.
This dude has had one set up for quite a while and he says all is well

i will probably end up using an above-ground setup when i get a house. when i was younger i had a buddy who had one, and we stocked it with bass and bluegill and carp, and it was a wonderful little pond.

pie are squared (pie are round)times 4, times 7.8 equals gallons.

This pond should be about 4800 gallons. Large pond. I don't know what size pump it will have, but probably too big. Filter for sa pool I don't think will be enough. Also the above groung pool pump is not ment to run full time. Very expensive.
