I have a small proof of concept swimming pond in my back yard fed by a natural spring. There is no filtration as the amount of new water that flows in is 3-4 times the volume of the pond each day. The water is always crystal clear and constant 77 degrees, however there is clear slime on the walls that comes off in chunks when you brush against the wall. The slime started to form only a day or two after I made the pond. With time it seems to get thicker and comes off more easily.
I cannot figure out what that stuff is or how to get rid of it. The PH is around 8 and the pond is under a tree shade with small amount of filtered light.
Anyone have an idea what that stuff is?
