Green water

[R bodek]

I have a small pond of about 100 gallons and no fish, and the last few years i keep getting green water. I deep clean it every spring and put fresh water in it. I’ve tried numerous pond treatments and it still turns green. I’ve had the pond for many years and never had an issue like this. I just can’t get rid of it! I also have a filter with it , still not a help. Pond contains a fall and bubbler fountain.
Any suggestions would be great.

A temporary fix is quilt batting in a milk crate or similar and pump water onto the quilt elevated above the ponds water level.

Your filter or pump are nit sufficient to keep the pond clear .
