The pond is not aerated. Bill I use the term "something alive" to distinguish from "sulpher smell" and stuff like that. I am guessing it is "dissolved organic substances". The strange part is it has not happened before in over 20 years here using that pond. We are drinking bottled water. The water test shows Chlorine at >3.0 ppm.

I was wondering if there was a natural way to clear the water. I have never seen it so lacking in clarity. It is brown stuff and I guess algae. Any ideas on how to clear it? Or where to begin to get a direction to clear it?

Unfortunately I don't have room for a reverse osmosis system under the kitchen sink. It would have to treat the entire water supply and I don't think that is feasible.

2/3 acre pond 12 miles from that big pond we call Lake Erie.
