I am not sure what you mean. Using a liner, you can put in exactly the
some plumbing as a concrete or gunite pool. You can have a bottom
drain to drain it just like a regular pool. I have seen ponds built
with liners 20 feet deep.

Why are swimming pool liners so expensive? I've seen kits for
thousands of dollars. Why couldn't you create one using a PVC liner
like they use for ponds? My pond is very durable. Granted, you
wouldn't want to be walking on the botton in high heels. It seems to
me this would 1) be much more economical and 2) let you make your pool
any shape/size you want. Granted, I've only seen pond liners in black
which would not make the most attractive pool. However, I did see on
HGTV a pool they did in gunite that was made black and surrounded with
stone to make it look natural like a lake.
sure go ahead and make a low pool with a pond liner.. it will work.. but
dont try to make a 4 to 6 ft. deep one and expect to drain the water out
but you cam probably pump it out in a few days.. it take two hoses
running all day to fill up our 4 ft. above ground pool and we have
pretty good water pressure....
