My backyard pond is failry new (this spring) and the water is always
green. I've tried the chemicals, cleaned the filter and added lillies
and other vegetation to block out the sun. Nothing works! The water is
green as ever, any suggestions?


Green is a healthy sign. You probably have algae bloom due to high
nitrogen. Wheat hay or fish can help, but really no need to be
concerned.
