Moved from here.
I have the exact same scenario happening. I have a new pool (new build) that has been open for about 2.5 months. About two weeks ago I started noticing the film on the water when opening my auto cover. My water has also been slightly cloudy when I first open the cover, but it clears up within a fews hours. The problem seems to be worse if I leave the cover closed for a couple days.
At first I didn't think much of the film on the water and assumed it was sunblock or something left over from a high swimmer load (why does everyone want to lather up with sunblock before they jump in my pool?). Then, I started noticing the cloudy water. I'm not sure if the cloudy water is a result of the film on the water or not.
Just to rule them out, I tested for copper and iron and they both appear to not be a factor: >0.2 and 0.0 respectively.
@akropp what brand cover do you have and how old is it, and do you have a cloudy water issue? Mine is a coverpools.
My suspicion is something is leaching out of the cover.
