First time ever on a forum and first day on this forum. I am a second generation life long pool owner. We have a fiberglass salt-water pool in PA; however, this salt-water pool is new to me. We were able to close it last year and open this year without issue until today. The pool has been open for 3 weeks now, a lot of rain and the pool temp is 77°F.
We notice these clear slimy oval pods attached to the walls of the fiberglass pool. They seem to have developed overnight as we had vacuumed the pool yesterday. We did not notice them then. They smell very fishy. We scrubbed the fiberglass and I added 12 cups of chlorine to our 35,000 gallon 7ft deep pool. I then increased the chlorination/salinity of the pool at the pump to 50%, it was set at 35%. Still it took hours to skim them all out of the water. They do look like itsy bitsy jellyfish when they are floating in the water. What is it and how do we get rid of them? And from where did it all come? When should I return my pool back to 35% salinity? I want to prevent this from ever happening again, help!
