On the floor of our pool the grout looks like it has algae or something growing on it. Water chemistry is very good and it won’t come off with your foot. Any suggestions on how to clean it?

Algae growing means the water chemistry isn’t good. Got some test results? If it’s not organic, it could be staining. Having long term test results would help with that too. You can do an OCLT to confirm or deny the algae possibility). Looks more like staining to me.
 
Post a full set of current test results from one of the recommended test kits.
What test kit are you using? Add it to your signature.

Scrub the grout lines with a brass bristle brush.
 
Worked great, appreciate the suggestion
