Thanks for watching. If you have a wildlife or more 'natural pond', you don't need a filter system. However, if you are keeping fish or want to keep the water clear all year round, a filter system will greatly benefit you as it introduces new oxygen into the pond and keeps it well aerated. Hope this helps!
Great point, Daniel. We test the pond regularly and prior to this (when algae wasn't in the pond), the nitrates were still 0. But you're absolutely correct, the string algae will have been one of the reasons why the nitrate levels were at 0. We will cover this point in future videos. Thanks for watching!
Is a filter system a must have?

you seem to have skipped that fact that the main reason your nitrate levels are 0 is because of the string algae in the pond
