I'm stumped. Are you allowing the water to spray from the hose as your
filling? Filling the bowl in the house the sink has an aerator. The
water could be oxygen deficient. That's all I can think of....... is
it a new hose??????? I think I'm grabbing at straws.
Try "rec.ponds" maybe someone there can help.

UPDATE

The pond water was changed (for about the 8th time). All rocks were
removed. A dechlorinator and chloramine remover was added. The
water
was mixed and sat overnight. A goldfish was acclimated (sat in bag
in
pond 1 hour, followed by adding approx. 1/2 cup pond water to bag,
followed by a cup in 45 min, followed by release into pond 30 min
later. NO electrical devices plugged in. FISH DEAD IN TWO HOURS.
I
am now totally at a loss. The only possible variables not
controlled
now is the liner in the pond, the pumps leaching some toxic
substance,
or the temp in the pond being too hot. As mentioned earlier the
same
tap water was used to keep goldfish alive in a gallon container for
a
week.
