By the way, biofilms are everywhere. Pools, spas, bathrooms, kitchens, the funky look to your patio furniture, on your teeth (plaque is a biofilm), wherever there is a surface that can be damp.

Biofilms are living, breeding organisms.  As shown in the illustration below, Biofilms are able to draw nutrients such as dissolved carbon, oxygen and other organics from the water surrounding them. In other words, biofilms are continually being "fed." For that reason, constant removal needs to done.

Further making the situation a little (maybe a lot) worse is the fact there exists an "anaerobic" layer. Anaerobic essentially means it doesn't need or require oxygen. And the Aerobic layer protects the anaerobic layer.

What to do? Biofilms are resistant to chlorine or bromine. Biofilms bond with biguanides. Ionizers have no effect. You have to remove it. But how?
