Have you ever seen the difference between a pool that is opened in April vs. May? There is a pretty big difference with the biggest being visible algae growth. With the temps constantly in the 70+ range during May, algae have plenty of time to grow on the walls and when the pool does finally get opened, it can be very difficult to deal with.
