The only way you can stop the water in a pond turning green long term is to get yourself a UV filter system. (Ultra Violet) The water is pumped out of the pond into a filter box containing sponges and sometimes biological filtration substances and is also treated by a UV light which is either in the same filter box or an additional box which the water then passes through. The UV light kills off all the algae so clearing the water. These systems are very good, but can be quite expensive to set up and you will need to change the UV bulbs once a year as they lose there effectiveness. If you do purchase one of these systems, be aware NEVER look at the bulb when it is on as it can damage you eyesight and even blind you!
