Welcome to Pond Boss!!

Muddy water can be due to several reasons. If it's due to crayfish, or other fish, then you could do a jar test. Take a mason jar and fill it with pond water, and just let it sit for a few days. If it clears up, and sediment settles to the bottom of the jar, then it does lend credibility to the muddy water being caused by some of the live creatures.

If it doesn't clear in the jar, then it points to other issues.

I'm no expert on this stuff, so let's see what others have to say.
