   Isn’t there possibly a more fundamental reason it can’t be used, or is water which is “she’uvim” somehow acceptable l’halacha for tevilas keilim???

     Correct, however that may not always be the case. the pool might have been filled with rain water.

   What about a baby pool where the water starts in until you empty it? Assuming it’s big enough
