The white slime on my pool walls tripled in size after I followed three different YouTube cleaning tutorials. I've been treating it like regular green algae - shocked it multiple times, balanced my chemicals, the whole nine yards. But this white stuff just keeps coming back and it doesn't look like any algae I've dealt with before.
