ZTrain - I agree with your conclusions about the relationship of pond water clarity, CPW abundance and weed treatments. Frequently when CPW is abundant the water has fewer dissolved nutrients, dissolved solids precipitates will often accumulate on CPW leaves and filamentous algae is often at low abundance and low density. IMO the amount of CPW needed to produce clear water is highly dependent on the nutrients in the pond (eutrophic nature). My experience is the more CPW preset the clearer the water becomes.
