Welcome!
That algae is feeding off some excess plant nutrients in the water.
You'll have to keep manually removing it until the nutrient level comes down.

Welcome @Jackstraw ! Yup - string algae. You essentially have a new pond, since you emptied and refilled it.
Tell us more about your pond - how big, how many gallons, how old, any fish. how many? And we love to see pictures!
