Scraper with a razor blade attached, you can buy them from your nearest aquatic centre

I don’t have a window but I do have a similar cleaning tool as voodoo but I got it from amazon.
I think it would be ideal for pond window cleaning.

I did have the extendable tile scrubber but If you leave it a long time it takes ages to clean off and mine started to go rusty so now I use a swimming pool brush and a short aluminium pole, it's the same attachment as my nets so works really well and I can clean the bottom of the pond with the same brush

Ditto, have the same.
Along with one of these if I let it get bad,

if you could manage to clean the window then polish it it will last weeks before you need to do it again, dropped the pond level once and whilst it was down I gave the window a real good clean, followed by a a covering in rain X, makes it so smooth the algae finds it harder to cling to.

This is what I've used since my pond re-build with windows in 2017: https://aquatix-2u.co.uk/products/kc...hangeable-head
You can get replacement heads in packs of 1, 2 or 3: https://aquatix-2u.co.uk/products/re...eccbdc5b&_ss=r
Aquatix-2U is currently out of stock of both, but having spoken to them yesterday to find out the situation as I need some more heads, they assure me they will be coming back into stock soon - just another pandemic-related stock supply issue!11,440L Raised Pond, BD, Oase ProfiClear, Bitron 55W, 2x10k Aquaforte Varios, Skimmer to Waterblade

I have the same as Mike & Tom too and find it works really well. What do people use to clean the inside of the window at the top where the water mark is? its like a white line.

Above post was a lie.
Just wondered how it might feel to be able to say that. And it felt good.
Truth is, I don't have a window, couldn't afford it .
