It is often called "pink algae", but is actually a bacteria that is hard to get rid of. See your pool supplier. It's appearance often coincides with many overcast or rainy days. It especially loves the white plastic Plumbing pools have. I have found the red algae to be pH related. In particular it is encouraged by an acid condition. So, balalnce the pH, then shock the pool.

Pool steps can be made of concrete or fiberglass, depending on the construction and size of your pool. Contact a local pool service about the steps.
