Blanket Weed / Algae

[Haveagojoe]

I have a real problem with blanket weed/ algae not sure which it is, I have a filter with a uv attached and the water is crystal clear but the sides of the pond the plant baskets and even the plants themselves get covered in this green slimy stringy stuff,, I rub it off and clean the filter every week because it clogs it up that much, I even drained it earlier in the year and scrubbed the thing out but its come back with a vengence again, it really does make me feel like filling the pond in!
