Daughter had friends over (no, not THAT friend) and now there is like a film/grimey scum layer on the top of the pool water. I'm assuming it's just tanning lotions/normal lotions... should I just skim the pool as usual and check chemical balances? I did some searching for lotions and pool water on some forums - but no definitive answer on how to treat/remove.

Tennis balls! Throw them in the pool or skimmer and they will pick up the oily weird scum.
Or if you're a fancy pants rich mcgee, you can try these :laughblue:

Lol 😂 It is what i use to help people with calculations so I don’t jank up my own settings - one day its plaster the next minute it’s vinyl- she’s all over the place!
Fair enough! That's super cool that it can all be shared - and for the $8 a year (or whatever it is for the subscription) well worth it to have other people help troubleshoot!

I just ran chemicals and I am pleased to see that FC is holding overnight - that always worries me for some reason.
