It sounds like you have an algae problem. Shock the pool and toss in a dose of algaecide. Take a sample of the water along to your pool shop and get it tested while you are getting the algaecide.

If your pool water is a blue or gray color and you want to get it to clear up, try using bleach. If you can't get it to clear up, you may need to drain the water and refill it.

Black sludge in water lines can be caused by the accumulation of organic matter such as algae, bacteria, or mold.

Where should submersible pump be placed or installed in ground water well?

There are a few parts to an answer. How deep is the water in your well? Is there sludge or sediment at the bottom of the well? How deep is this and how much is clean water? How long is your pump? How long is the motor housing? I just placed a 70cm pump, motor 35cm, in 250cm if clean water. 20cm of sludge. The bottom the motor housing was placed about 40cm above the sludge which means there is about 75 cm of clean water below the water inlet and 175cm of water above the pump. It will take many years for the sludge to rise and even in low water periods I should stay in operation.
