Are you sure you got the real deal and not an accidental swap with
something else like a half-barrel liner? Happens sometimes. I ask because
a local pet store had a PopUp Pond set up last year and it looked pretty
much the same as the picture on the box. They did have spillage problems,
but they said those were mostly due to humans (particularly children) and
animals bumping or tipping a top edge. Such would be a danger with any
flexible system not contained inside a rigid shell though.
