I've used cement/brick cleaner acid in the past. It works very well but you do need to be careful not to contaminate the pond of course. Some people use white vinegar. There are I believe, drum cleaning fluids available from some of the manufacturers.
7500 litres
Filtreau combi with uv.
Some koi

Mine is tap water so the chlorine cleans it. Otherwise chloramine T will do the same job
