Found flow rate has slowed down, pipes and filter clogged with this white/brown jelly like substance. Cleared it completely but it has returned within a week. Any ideas what it is and how to to treat? Many thanks

Hello and welcome!

A little more information would be helpful. What kind of equipment, size of pond, time in operation….?

Photos are a must not just the substance but of your pond.
