Leave the surfaces alone (unless it is string algae). Clean hoses if you
want for esthetic purposes but the coatings on the liner are an important
part of pond balance. Even those who "deep clean" their ponds try to not
disturb the liner too much.

My pond is free from algae except for the surfaces of the liner and hoses
etc. My wife says we should get rid of all of it, but I think the surface
covering is good for the fish.

Am I right?
