No, it is a pre-molded PVC Pond, also known as Fiberglass.Is this a PVC 'Liner' pond?
There IS a difference! PVC is a plastic, while Fiberglass is built up with glass threads and a resin.No, it is a pre-molded PVC Pond, also known as Fiberglass.
Looking for a paint to redo my above ground PVC Fish Pond, that is fish safe, any thoughts, Mfg. Krylon said they don't have any studies to prove it is safe, and do not recommend it. Any thoughts out there.

Thank you, just don't want to lose my Goldfish ( 12+ Inch long ). Just want get rid of the stains in the pond ( tan color ).Look into Pond Armor after first determining what in fact, your pond is actually made from.

Thank you, guess I'll just leave it alone as for painting, & just scrub it down the next time I drain it. Charlie B.I think the stain is the good muck and being that the liner is tan color it looks worse to a point .But the fish love it and it is good stuff and no liner should ever look like it does when you first put it in .I saw one on you tube complaining about his white liner in his pond looked dirty .My black liner is a mucky shade of green and brown ,doesn't bother me ,it just means the pond is healthy .I am not sure what these preforms are ,I thought some type of plastic .I even had one to start with until my front porch was built and I was always trying to get it level every spring ,even with sand on the bottom and sides before I put the liner in .
Thanks !!! Charlie B.More than likely it is ABS. It can be coated, but over time this will also stain. It is the nature of the beast.
Have had this pond for 3 / 4 years, never had a problem with it, of course my patio is AC in the summer & heated in the winter, also have a lot of Hanging Orchids over top of the pond as well as a 2 x 4 sky light over the pond, fish really like the sun lite ! It has turned out to be a real conversation piece when we have guests over. Thanks again, Charlie B.I don't think much works on those preformed ponds because they flex so much and heave in spring and fall .I have several of them that I have taken out for realtors and even the flex seal does not work on them .I have given several away to people who just want a water feature for there yard and use them like a pondless feature
