There are many advantages to choosing NSF certified pond liners, especially in applications that require potable or need to be fish and plant safe. Not all liners hold this certification, which guarantees that the product meets all of the regulatory requirements of the U.S. and Canada and is safe for use in drinking water. However, BTL offers several pond liners that are NSF certified for use in drinking water and as fish and plant safe.
