Thanks for the info.

If I'm leaving the new water for upto two weeks to settle properly,
will the fish be ok in a kids paddling pool (with current pond pump
and filter running) for that length of time?

Everyone has an opinion. I've returned them almost immediately after
adding
a dechlorinator without any problems whatsoever.

What sort of thing is a "dechlorinator"? Is it some kind of filter or
a chemical I'd add to the water? Either way...how much do they cost?
=============================
If your water contains chlorine or chlorimine (disinfectants used by water
utilities) you need a chemical to neutralize it. It's toxic to fish and
pond life. Here in the USA it's not expensive.
