Welcome to our forum.
Well I say its white, its kind of light in color, off white, like a flake. Slimy. It mostly floats along the side. I take a pool net and skim it off. Its not real bad, but enough that I skim it off. I've super chlorinated it twice. I read that article you posted and that was enough for me. I've started the decontamination process. Thank you!
If its organic, you must decontaminate. Â If its hard and scaley, it may be mineral. Â Slimy sounds organic to me.
Here's where Spock's Tricorder would sure come in handy!

OK I identified the white flake. Its a build up of calcium inside the pipes. Every time I would turn on the pumps I get a new dose of flakes. I took a collection of flakes in a glass of water. Added clorox to it and waited one hour. The flakes were still there. I took another collection of flakes without water and added Mauriac acid to a plastic spoon. In one hour the flakes were gone. I need to lower my Ph for awhile, to rid the buildup.
