Any ideas what this green/black thick chunky algae is? It sticks to the bottom of my above ground vinyl pool and I’ve been working to scrub it loose and get it all out since summer started. It seems to settle into the divots in the bottom of the pool and attach to it.
I dont know my phosphate level, but I have fairly good chlorine levels and CYA. I had a bad mustard algae problem last year due to off the chart CYA, so end of last year I switched to liquid chlorine. I had almost no CYA at the beginning of the season, I’ve been slowly adding stabilizer to get it up to 45.
Pool is 27 ft x 4 ft round above ground vinyl with pump and sand separator plumbed to two different return jets.

pH 7.5
water is super clear.

Those deposits do seem a bit unusual - unusual to me anyways. Your signature doesn't specify, but can you tell us what test kit you used for those numbers? In any case, I would recommend doing an
