Steve,

That would never have worked for me in the past, I've had so much of the stuff and growing so quickly that I needed to get buckets of the stuff out every day.

Free flow worked for one season, then not the next.
Pond balance worked well as well.

Sinse fitting a Bakki shower, but as additional filtration, so putting to contents of the pond over it every 4-hours, I now have 'no' blanket weed. In doing this, I have increased the pond turnover to 8500 gallons per hour on a 10,000 gallon system, so perhaps this helped? I also added a TT with BHM, so aeration is high, with 300+ litres of air in pond and filter.

So was it the Bakki/BHM? I dont know it it could take years to confirm it one way or the other. Next Spring will be interesting though ......
