Water + light + nitrogen + oxygen will always produce algae/water plants. That is natures way of keeping water clean. The easiest of the above to control is the light. If you reduce the light getting to the water surface by shading a section that will help. Placing aquatic plants like water lillies in there to cover some surface area can also help.

What transport does algae use to take up chlorine from pond water?

Algae primarily use passive diffusion to take up chlorine from pond water. Chlorine molecules move from an area of higher concentration (pond water) to an area of lower concentration (inside the algae cells) through the cell membranes. This process occurs naturally as algae come into contact with the chlorine in the water.
