I have a white to tan colored film on the water that has shown up periodically throughout this summer. I think I know what it is but I am not sure how to test for it. It seems that my neighbors (whom called the county, DNR, and Township when I was digging my pond with a permit!, and caused me all sorts of problems) are backwashing their pool onto my property about 50ft from the shore of the pond. this area is wooded and I can't see it from my house. Does that "diametasious earth" or whatever its called that is used in pool filters float? and does it come out in large quantities during a backwash? If not that cause does anybody else have any ideas what it might be? It is definetly white in color and not yellow or green.
Its not how well you do something,
Its how well you look doing it!

What you are probably seeing is a natural sulfur reaction that occurs naturally in ponds. It is usually not harmful and not of concern. It happens in most cases where an outfall occurs.
