Thanks, Maddie! I appreciate you taking the time to offer some help 😊

It's so thin that when I picked it up there wasn't much to see. It had a yellowish, oily tint to it. That could be algae you think?

I'm still waiting on my TF-100 test kit so I'm not sure on the numbers yet. I was going to get the water tested tomorrow at Leslie's in the mean time. I just wondered if anyone had seen this before.

So I'm in the process of getting my levels balanced. I'm assuming I've got some algae because I can't get the chlorine levels to hold. Is this patch of film on top of the water related to algae or is it something else?

Thanks for the info! I appreciate it.

Wow! Thanks for all of that thorough information! I'll get to work on doing what you recommend. The pool was so easy to maintain when it was cooler. Now that it's warmer I understand why people just hire someone to maintain it 😁. I'm not giving up, though! Thanks, again.

Thanks! I've already ordered my test kit so I'm hoping with that data I can get my pool back on track. I figured the water chemistry would be something I'd have to perfect through trial and error but I wanted to see if there were some secret rules I didn't know about. 😊

We put in an in-ground fiberglass pool last year and I've recently taken over the duties of maintaining it. I've got 4 young children, 3 of which aren't water safe so we've got an electric pool cover. To keep them safe, it's closed all the time unless we're swimming. I'm curious if anyone out...
