Sweater algae is substrate algae. Algae that is attached to something so this

If you can not pull the stuff through the water fast enough to filter it all
out I'd empty the pond, wash it and start over. Also do as much as possible to
keep nutrients out of the water, such as sun, big water changes, fish poo,
fish food, decaying plants, fertilizers and dirt.

I have had that in my pond its green but doesnt float or atatch to
anything
in my pond I saw it on pipes etc and when the Koi swim by it forms a
"dust cloud" behind them settles out again in a few minuts.
this year after the spring algae bloom, and after the string algae took
ahold it disapeared but I cant offer a reason why exept perhaps that
I doubled the amount of water being pumped, around the pond
my pumps dont have pre filters just a intake guard that keeps anything
over 1/2 inch out
