Hi guys.
Almost over night, brown spots have started to appear in our appear (see attached).
We only just moved in and only recently learning how to care for our pool - this was at a point where our chlorine levels were quite low.

Is this algae? I tried scrubbing it but it wouldn't come off.
I tried rubbing Vitamin C tablets as apparently it could be a metal stain, but that didn't do anything.
Any help and advice would be great!

Complete your signature with your pool details.

Do a Overnight Chlorine Loss Test which will confirm if you are losing FC at night due to algae.

If you fail the Overnight Chlorine Loss Test then follow the SLAM Process process.

Post your test results if you want us to follow along and assist you.

It is probably algae. What test kit do you use?
