Some say that the dechlor is not needed for small water changes of 10% or
less, since there is plenty of stuff to neutralize the chlorine fairly
quickly, but I always use dechlor.

I wouldnt say there is alot of stuff on the bottom of the pond. We
completely cleaned the pond out, drained, washed refilled, the works
around April 20th. I expected to get an algage bloom after doing this,
but I also thought a UV would clear it up faster than this. I did have
a couple of small pots turn over a while back but nothing major. The
tutle is gone, we relocated it last week, no more turtle turds. Ill do
a water change this weekend on both ponds and see if it help any.
Should I add de-chlor' if Im only doing a 10% change?
