It's in the open and it's not got any natural shade, the drainage water from the roof and the driveway runs into it. The water brings a level of silt with it and so when we have a hot summer the combination of the silt and the sun produces a strong growth of green blanketweed. Normally we have to periodically drag the pond every four weeks to clear it.
Then we were watching the best gardening programme on the BBC: Beechgrove Garden when they reported on their pond which had been treated with Ecosure Pond Clear Aqua Plus and had cleared completely. Fortunately we had a courier flying out (actually Jill thought she was coming to stay with us .....) so we got a couple of packs brought over for our very green pond.
It's worked very well:
