Default need help with algae in pond

Jan forgot to include her algae primer. Of all the remedies in the primer,
the one that is hardest to do and yet the most important is patience,
patience, patience. The water will go green. All water goes green. It
will stay green for some period of time, regardless of other actions (except
UV) and one day you will go to the pond, and it will be clear. Chemicals
don't work, except to give you clear water for a party, but then it will
return within a few days.

Hello, i have a small yard pond about a 100 gallons, i have 2 goldfish
and 3 koi's

i also have a filter box that my pump fits in i have used pond blocks
for algae that treat 250 gallons and the algae keeps growing.
i have cleaned the pond 3 times this year and scrubed it with bleach and
rinsed it good and still it grows. is there anything else i can do.
i thought it wasn't circulating the water enough so i bought a fountain
and put it in and still a big green mess it takes about 3 to 4 weeks and
it is back. thanks
