No. It is purely an aesthetic choice. It is a myth that black bottom pools are warmer. Don't argue with me, I have proved this several times. Put a black plate and a white plate in the bottom of a pool and check it a few hours later to see if there is any temp difference....there won't be. Water absorbs all the heat in the first 12 inches.
Interesting thought! Having a black colored pool floor would certainly pick up heat if the sun can shine directly on it but it will radiate heat away quickly when the pool is shaded. Perhaps putting a solar pool cover on the pool when it is shaded or at night would help trap the heat a black pool floor absorbs. Not sure but certainly an interesting concept!

we have a 'black' gunite pool. It definitely warms up quickly. it also gives the pool a very natural look.
no. just insert a heater
Yes
It depends one what pool you go to. There are some swimming pools that have lines on the bottom and there are others that do not
Is the skimmer plastic? Does it have a black bottom? If so, there is a kit for this. Check out black bottom skimmer repair - search.
If it is genuine 'black algae' it is very difficult to remove without emptying the pool and gouging the black algae out of the pool surface. Other algae can be removed by shocking the pool, filtering continuously and brushing walls while maintaining a good sanitizer level.
Brush vigorusly with a S. S. wire pool brush and treat with granular black algaekill. Treat frequently because it is very hard to kill this type.
At the bottom of the pool.
Yes. We had a black/brown pepple tec installed over our stained concrete pool and it does make the water a little warmer. Not significantly but noticeble enough to enjoy a quick dip.
Acid wash it with a presure sprayer.
There is no filter at the bottom of a pool. Perhaps you are looking at the hydrostatic valve which is there in case your pool is emptied and Will make sure that the pool wont float in ground water.
The Pool of the Black One was created in 1933.
What is the foreshadowing of Percy sitting at the bottom of the pool for 7 minutes?
I would recommend Mr. Clean Magic Erasers
