That slime you feel is algae. Treat with Shock and algaecide. Specific algaecide treatments may vary depending on the type of algae. Ask your local pool store what is common in your area and try those treatments. But monitor your free chlorine levels and make sure you can sustain 3ppm.

How do i get dead algae off the bottom of my pool I used algaecide and then there were particles floating in the water that i could not scoop out with the net now it is on the bottom?
You can use a vacuum to get dead algae off of the bottom of your pool. Once you finish vacuuming, use the pump and filter to remove the particles.
How do you get the film up off the bottom of the pool?
If there is a film laying on the bottom of the pool it is most likely that the pool has clarifier or floculant put in it. If so let the pool settle for a day or two until all of the clarifier and contaminant has settled to the bottom then turn the filter to waste and gently vacuum the cloudy material on the bottom of the pool to waste do not put floculant through the filtration vac it to waste.

Can you suck up leaves off the bottom off a pool with a shop vac?
Yes you can. I recently used it to clean my Metal Frame Intex pool. It is 12' x 30" and you couldn't aatach a skimmer and good vaccum to the filter. So I had all the dead algae sitting on the bottom and the pool still looked green. I took the Shop Vac out and cleaned the bottom of the pool with it. Just remember you can do one pass and the housing will fill with water and make sure the drain plug is removed as well as the filter.
If your pool is made of both fiberglass and cement or gunite and the sides are fiberglass but the bottom is either cement or gunite is this a fiberglass pool that was filled with cement?
No. An older (possibly better) type of Fiberglass pool was constructed in this manner, with a concrete/Gunnite/Marcite trowled bottom and Fiberglass panels at the side of the pool. Panels are caulked together along vertical joints. Actually not a bad deal, but caulked joints must be maintained. Once the concrete starts showing through at the bottom of the pool, its time to drain and resurface. Bottom of pool should be acid washed every 3-5 years to keep it sparkling and remove mold, mildew, stains. If bottom surface is chipping off, its getting close to time to resurface bottom of pool. Bottom is treated just like any concrete/gunite/Marcite pool surface. Sides are simply brushed, caulked in timely manner.

My ears are infected - they always have yellow slimy stuff coming out of them but they are very red and sore. Sometimes hard stuff comes out too that I scratch off?
If your ears are infected it is important to be seen by a doctor as soon as possible. The treatment is usually very simple, but if you wait the infection could make you deaf.
