Answer

the greasy substance around your skimmer is a combination of body oils and tanning oils that swimmers use to protect themselves from the sun. The oil collects there because of the suction of the pump. Try using a simple tile cleaner to remove it or a sponge type scum ball to collect the oils in the pool and you wont have nearly as much around the skimmer

How do you rid salt water pool of black spot algae?

If there are just a few spots and you do not wish to drain the pool you must first scrape the "head" off with a wire brush or algae stone and then apply a granular/powder chlorine directly on top of the spot. If the pool is riddled with the stuff it would probably be easier to drain the pool, scrape off the heads of the black algae and then chlorine wash the pool. Let the chlorine sit for a half hour before rinsing.

You can not restitch a pool liner! It has to be replaced. If the welded seams are coming apart this indicates the liner is well beyond its life. Ken
