Pre pool opening (white water mold)

Around the skimmer is how it looks before I wipe . On the towel is how it looks when wiped
It's likely whatever crud the ahhsome is expelling. I'm stunned there's any left after all it's already pushed out.
It’s insane !
This am abt 730 am after you responded my fc was 7. I raised it to 13 (easy math)
Pool had about 3 hours heavy use
Tested 730 pm fc 5. I just raised to 11

It certainly doesn't look appetizing. Or like something I'd want to swim with either. 
That’s the double edged with the blue fiberglass …. Can’t see anything IN the water . Which is great and terrible at the same time 
I seem to be blazing through chlorine again since adding more ahhsome(Friday) like 5ppm in 5 hours . I realize it’s doing it thing.
Should I be doing slam rn?
When would you advise adding stabilizer?
I had been waiting to pass slam,
Before adding stabilizer. Which I passed last week. Still wiping plenty of gunk from skimmer.
It is very hot/sunny here rn also

I'd let the CYA be until the FC loss subsides. You aren't fighting an active algae bloom, so theoretically you don't need slam FC, just enough extra to cover the loss, but the FC will be more potent in the meantime with a lower CYA. If it dips below 30, then adjust back to 30.
You can keep the cover closed to help with UV loss. Just open it to outgas here and there.

When I close the auto cover there is a pretty significant musty odor. Can I scrub it with a Lc/water solution without bleaching it?
If so - how much Lc (12.5 %) to water in a 5 gallon bucket ?
I scooped a bucket of pool water and poured it on/brushed today . But it’s still smelly

No idea, that's a question for troublefreelaundrydotcom.
(Our bleach levels are so low they are safe across the board). recommendations are all over the map for making bleach solutions, from a capful to a cup per gallon. And that's likely assuming 6% chlorox.
I'd take several rounds with the elevated FC pool water. It'd suck to bleach the cover.
Happy to report the sludge is slowing.
(Finally, been a week today since adding). I know there is more in there because I’m still losing 2ppm overnight
Ran a full battery of test this am
After adjusting ph with MA

Would anyone like to buy my trouble free pool? 
Just when I think I’m over the hump.
I open auto cover to check chems and see this
Is this biofilm?

feeling a bit better hearing that .
When it happens to you, does it disappear eventually?
