Well AB skimming some off the surface is fine, but a fountain or an air system will not get rid of your algae. If might where the fountain is but that's about it.
Like many others have said there is to much nutrients in your pond that's why you are getting the algae. There is no quick fix for getting rid of algae except for 2 things and they will only fix it for a short time.
1. A real hard rain will knock a lot of it down back into the water and mix it up, but it will come back.
2. Chemicals will take care of it for the time being but it will come back from that also.
Until you get your nutrient load under control in your pond it will keep coming back. Sometimes not as bad as others but it will be back.
You also need to find / figure out what type of Algae it is. That will help you better make a choice as to how to tackle it.

P.S. Bill Cody knows his stuff when it comes to Algae he may be able to help you out if you could post a pic of what you have.
