We've just built a pond and waterfall - silly time of year to do this here
in the UK, I know, but if we hadn't, we'd spend the money on something else
and still have a crappy garden come summer )

Anyway, because it's the wrong time of year, we have no plants or fish in it
yet but it is a "working pond" in the sense that it's full of water and the
waterfall is active. When the time comes, we intend to put in plants but are
undecided about fish. All we really wanted was the relaxing sight and sound
of tinkling, gurgling, water and fish - if we have any at all - will be just
a couple of goldfish.

We haven't installed any sort of filter yet, partly because we have nothing
(live) in the pond yet and partly because we've run out of money. However,
the water is getting rather green so I was wondering if there are any sort
of chemical additives I can put in to reverse this and have clear water
again? Come the spring, I'll probably empty the pond and power-wash the
liner before installing the plants and a filter of some sort, but is there
anything I can do until then?

Cheers,

Mogweed
