Default Cleaning a pond


wrote in message
...
I have a 400 gallon pond that has been severely clouded from pollen and a
few leaves on the bottom. i have cleaned out the leaves, poured some
chemical that is supposed to clump together all the microscopic particles,
but my pond is still cloudy. i have even added barley straw. Is there a
way to clear it up without draining the pond? Thanks.

===========================
You don't mention a filter, fish or pond plants. What do you have in this
pond? Sometimes it's better and faster to just drain it, clean out the
"crud" and refill it.
