Soapy water

Has there been any dirt that may have gotten into the pond (local
construction, run off from yard work, etc)? Dirt will make foam.

We seem to have developed soapy water. The waterfall has been running
24/7
since December and we have no fish in the pond yet. There aren't many
plants
at the moment as a friend said he would give us lots but he is off work
sick
at the moment, but there are 4 oxygenators under the surface as well as
what
you can see.

We had a terrible problem with blanketweed and someone recommended a
barleystraw bale which worked a treat and has been in there for about
two
months. As the soapy water only appeared about a week ago I don't think
it
can be down to that. And I also think it's extremely unlikely that
anyone
has put detergent in there, so just what can be causing this and how do
I
get rid of it?

To see what I mean, have a look he

No, there's been no work done for about 3 months. We've had a lot of rain
recently, and wind as well, which has blown leaves in but I've been scooping
them out every day. Thanks anyway dkat.
