Murky water

[Ewarwick]

Have had problem this year clearing the water. Have tried algae lift, products to help clarify the water, barley, washing the filters, etc. have lost 3 fish. The water did not start to get murky until about 3 weeks ago. 2800 gal capacity with waterfalls. Pump runs continuously even during the winter. Live in MA, does anyone have suggestions?

What kind of filter do you have, how many fish? what kind of fish?

Welcome! What kind of filter(s) do you have?

welcome and algae fix is not a good thing read all the warnings on it .I agree test your water and quilt batting does wonders picking up the fine stuff from your pond .If you can't put it in your filter then put it in a basket in your waterfall and if that is out place a pump in the middle with a fountain head or hose going into a basket out of the water .I find the middle with my stock tank works great
