for that much of problem you do have, i think you should consider bying a microscope, there is no doubt that you have ulcer on all your fish, and there is a great posibility that you do not have parasite, but it safe to to make sure. A microscope will answer you that.
here is a way you can do without microscope, but it probably cost you more than a microscope: fix all your fish with ulcer treatment, move all in a new pond with filtering system treat the fish with ProformC inh 3 treatments then treat Supavern in 10 days. you will have non parasite fish ready. meanwhile drain your pond clean everything in your way, get rid of all plant, rock... in your pond, leave it dry in couple days then fill in with new water salt the pond and ready for the fish. If you do not have another pond to move the fish, then you can treat the fish in your old pond. But drain to about 1/2 volume to save chemical.
.3% salt is standard for the fish to feel relax and produce slime to batter bacteria. fish has .9% salt in their body, if you have .3% salt in your pond, fish then with not work that hard to acquire enough salt to his body thru the gill. Less salt in the pond, he have to work harder, ( not as we wanted ). the same time the slime will not produce as much to protect his body.
Water quality plays a good part in koi inmune system, a good water will enhance fish ability to fight bacteria and desease, and i think you should know that when you first start the hobby.
