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?

Add vegetation and more vegetation...had a customer give me a bunch of
vegetation..parrots feather and a "grass" looking plant. In less than
two weeks the water went from a "pea soup" to clear water.
