I was getting ready to order my pond liner tonight and I had planned on using a 25 mil pool liner since they are round and I thought I would like the blue color, well the man I talked to said that pool liners have a fungiside built in them to help prevent algea which I didnt know that and he said that it would leach into the water and would kill the fish. So he told me I need a potable material that would be suitible for drinking water. So the price went from less than 100.00 to 325.00 (shipped) for the liner. Have you guys heard of this before? If this is the case I will just buy the square piece and deal with the wrinkles and I can get a pond liner in blue, grey or black

you want to find a liner made of untreated EPDM...more like a pond liner.

Yes but will have 2 go with a sheet cause a custom made round one is costly. 300 compared to 125

I concur, this is the best way to go.
