OK, understood. Thank you for the explanation. Ah the inside of the steps. Yeahhhhhh.. Last week while vacuuming, I lifted the stairs up so we could get under them. The top part (the curved handle) came lose so I pulled it off. There was green stuff all inside of the ladder and coming out of...

I could feel the sliminess on the steps more than I could see it. There were a few areas that had some light brown on them but I didn't see the green like I thought I would. We've sprayed them down and they'll sit out till the pool gets clear. So it's normal for it to still be looking like...
