Default Clearing algae and silt loaded water

The water has been moving through the filter for a decade. No

Hi,

We have a fountain that is like a pond, in that it is 2ft deep and 10
feet in diameter. The problem I have is not only algae, but lots of
muck in the bottom. I don't raise fish or plants in the water. Last
year I emptied it and scrubbed it down. This year it was even worse
with leaves and debris on the bottom. The problem is since it is vinyl
lined with folds in the bottom, it is very hard to get the muck cleaned
out. Also we don't have a drain so I have to siphon the water out, so I
can't use water pressure to clean in the folds.

Does the filter you use fix that problem? If so, what kind of filter do
you use.

Thanks,
Sheila
