Water Hyacinth

Does anyone know where I can get some Water Hyacinth. We are converting our pool to a fish pond. Got green pea soup in it right now. I did some research into airlift pumps and water plants etc. Water Hyacinth came up as a very good water cleaner as all the algae collects around the floating roots. As the plants grow - just pull a few out and compost for the vegie garden !!!. Can anyone advise me - really really appreciate any help I can get.
