Algae can appear at the bottom of a pool after shocking it because the shock treatment can kill off algae and other organic matter, causing it to sink to the bottom.
If the pool is shocked give it a scrub down with a pool broom / brush leave it for a day then vacuum the rubbish of the bottom. If there is a lot of algae present Vacuum to waste
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.

That slime you feel is algae. Treat with Shock and algaecide. Specific algaecide treatments may vary depending on the type of algae. Ask your local pool store what is common in your area and try those treatments. But monitor your free chlorine levels and make sure you can sustain 3ppm.
Dead algae.
Algae spores float around in the air and can hit your pool at any time You can fix it by 1 shocking the pool and scrubbing the walls and floor of the pool if this doesn't clear it up just get an algaecide from your pool shop. When you vacuum the dead algae out of the pool it would be a good idea to vacuum it to waste to reduce the risk of reinfecting the pool.
First try shocking it like a normal fresh water pool scrub the sides and bottom to loosen of the algae allow it to settle to the bottom and vacuum to waste. If that doesnt works throw in algaecide as well. If that doesn't work do the above and follow it up with a flocculent follow the instructions and you should have the situation under control after a few days.
You can use a vacuum to get dead algae off of the bottom of your pool. Once you finish vacuuming, use the pump and filter to remove the particles.
Green pool water is caused by algae. To remove the algae, bring the pH level of the water to 7.8, scrub the sides and bottom of the pool, shock the water with chlorine, then vacuum up all the dead algae.
Sounds like mustard algae. Usually happens after a lot of rain or warm weather.
Chlorine and Algaecide, and flocculate then when the algae is dead vacuum it to waste from the bottom of the pool. ( Follow the instructions on the containers)
