Are you trying to use this IN the water? Many/most UV clarifiers are not intended to be submerged; I have no knowledge of this one however. Do the instructions say it can be submerged?

Also, I am not sure I understand the problem you are having. Can you elaborate?

Here is my pea soup because  had not enough plants and feeding my koi. This was in June maybe

I started throwing water hyicents in it and put some Euryale ferox lilies in there and in a few weeks it cleared up because the plants took away the algae food

It was nasty and slimy. I have no uv light. I have a vegetable filter and another home made filter box and a filter box that spouts. But it was the water hyicents and plants that cleared it up. Years ago I learned when you put water into new ponds or tubs it goes through a cycle that you have green water unless you spend a lot of money on something to remove it. And if you have a natural balance between plants and water it clears it up. I have ponds with no filter at all and they are clear because of plants here is one
