If it is a new pond and you have just changed the water, or keep changing it to clear it up, stop doing that. The normal process with a new pond is what it called an algae bloom that clears up in 6-8 weeks, if you leave it alone. it is helpful if you can have 60% of the water surface coveredwith plants but I know that isn’t practical with Koi that are vegetation eaters. Don’t add chemicals to clear it up, they are bad for other plants and fish. You do need a good filter on your pump if you don’t have one. Barley will help clear up the algae problem also, you can get bundles of it at your garden center. It takes a little time to clear it up, but it does work, even on filamentous algae which is notoriously hard to get rid of. You just toss it in, it will float for a while and then sink to the bottom so you don’t see it.
You can get a pool paint for your cement pool, it is a two-part epoxy. You have to let it cure thoroughly before you put your fish back in. We used it on concrete fish tanks at the nursery where I worked. Be sure you get one that is non-toxic. I believe they use it to paint the insides of stock tanks, so you might be able to get it at a farm supply store.
The fish don’t care if the water is green; it is the humans that don’t like it.
