I actually found your site because of a posting by "Starfish", Cloudy pool/white stringy(snotty) stuff? (July 2011).

His discription is exactly what I am experiencing. I am unable to send a picture, but this sounds like the same stuff.

I vaccuumed this morning and will put the 3 gallons of bleach in tonight after sunset. More later. And thanks so much----I always feel very much alone and amateurish when it comes to the pool.....
