Hello, after balancing and shocking the pool for the new the season these brown spots remain persistent. Does this look like yellow or brown algae? I can’t seem to find anything online that resembles it to answer my question. I would appreciate any help you can provide. Aggressive rigorous brushing seems to remove it with a stainless brush, but it is more than likely just removing the surface , and I don’t think that is a good solution. Thank you

Welcome to TFP.

Removing the surface may be what it takes.

Clean one area and see if the spots return.

Can your pool pass a Overnight Chlorine Loss Test? If not, you have algae and need to follow the SLAM Process.
