You may have an overabundance of bio pellets.
This is a bacteria you see.

I am unable to read that with my device

"White slime" is a bacteria. There is no difference
The only way to combat that is to remove the source it lives off of

For instance vinegar dosing (carbon source) will allow it to live. In my study of this bacteria once I remove the carbon source it dies back.

No since that will not be a viable carbon
