It could be dirt or it could be algae. Do you test your water?

Answer 2

Its probably setiment (dirt) and you have to vacuum it out or it can ruin your filter.

Answer 3

I could be wrong but it sounds like algae. Whenever we first open our pool up for the year the pool is always covered in the same type of "brown film" on the walls and the bottom of the pool. Sounds like your pool just needs a good cleaning.

What we do to clean the pool is brush and vacuum the walls of the pool. You also have to shock it and let the filter pump out all the unclean water. It usually took us about a week to get our pool ready before it was ready for us to dive in.

I would head down to your local pool care and supply store and talk to the merchant and see what they have to say about it. They'll be able to hook you up with the proper cleaning supplies so you and your family can enjoy your pool this summer.

Hope that helped!
