[E]xperts who warned that the dark blue colour would absorb more sunlight than the original light grey concrete and become a perfect environment for algae to bloom were quickly proven correct... This week workers appeared with bottles of hydrogen peroxide that they poured into the 6.75 million gallon pool. Officials said that this would work with the new ozone-injected nanobubble filtration system that was supposed to combat the growth of algae... “This is some six-and-a-half million gallons of water we’re talking about here, so that’s a lot of bottles of anything that you’d have to add,” Steve Goodale, a pool maintenance expert.... “But the hydrogen peroxide is an oxidizer itself, in the same way that the nanobubbler system is, so the two systems are essentially the same thing, just a different approach to it.”
I hope they fix it, but for now, it's at least embarrassing.

It’s also been reported in the rush to finish the sealant the circulation system wasn’t completely flushed and that was the cause of the bloom. If course that must be the lie and the London paper’s experts know for a fact its the blue sealant. Of course. How embarrassing…for someone…
How does this affect your life?
Get some priorities boomers.
Go volunteer at a homeless shelter or raise finds to donate to your local food bank? I guarantee you even in Madison there are real people struggling...
A little bit of algae Ina refle ting pool in the peoples capital you will never deign to visit really doesn't amount to a hill of beans today. Report the facts, sure, but dont be a silly editorializer wi5h the sneaky comments...
Be emnarrass3d by all the dead civilians your tax dollars bought?
…make sure to include the biggest number we can claim in the headline so it looks like Republicans are irresponsible with money…
That pool has been a maintenance headache forever. The bubbler and peroxide treatment may help, as well as the updated filtration equipment. Keeping goose s**t out of the water would help as well...
Snarky not sneaky...
Technology changes words.
DC is a swamp. Swamps grow algae. Stagnant shallow fresh water is a bad idea. Who was the genius that thought a reflecting pool was a good idea?
Can you redo the survey on how beautiful the pool is?
Keeping goose s**t out of the water would help as well...
Maybe they could install cannons to scare the birds away. Or allow goose hunting on the Mall.
As someone who has done his own pool maintainence for 28 years, I can safely say that it's not that hard to maintain an algae -free pool. It just depends on how much money and time you to spend on it.
Hydrogen peroxide is an unstable molecule (which is why high concentration peroxide is used as rocket fuel). It breaks down very quickly when exposed to UV (which is why it is sold in opaque brown containers at the drug store). So it probably is not going to do a whole lot of good.
I’ve seen the color is green and also chartreuse. YTers standing in front of the pool saying it looks green while right behind them the water is green and also clear?
That’s a big pool. I wish the NPS luck in beating back the alien invasion.
…yes, the pool is blue and black of white and gold, depending on who you ask…
I can safely say that it's not that hard to maintain an algae -free pool.
Is your pool 2000 ft by 167 ft and a foot and a half and two and a half feet deep?
…the Democrats winning issue right now is…praying for algae.
Isn't this the Green New Deal the Dems wanted?
Green trump's Blue in Trumpland; see the president's obsession with Greenland. Not to mention how many times a day the president talks about greenbacks, which is just as good as money.
…speaking of algae bloom, yesterday Hillary! was stirring up a new run for President…
I love the idea of the reflecting pool, but I'm beginning to think it's just too impractical to maintain, maybe?
I mean, there's been recurring issues with algae, hasn't there, since its installation in the 1920s. It seems to be sort of an incubator, so to speak.
So, I don't know.

In Boston they would probably let the green stand, or sit, whichever you prefer.
The pool reflects the state of the Republic.

The issue was and continues to be how the contract was awarded. That the fix didn't work just emphasizes the inherent corruption.

It is a reflecting pool. It is green where it is reflecting the green trees. It is blue where it is reflecting the blue sky. You can see it clearly in the video.
An analogy... look at that horrible red algae bloom in Lake Mendota in her third picture below. Oh my. How horrible.
Yeah, I don't think Hillary Clinton will run again. Apart from all her other issues, she's too old!!!
I really would like to see some sort of upper-limit cap on age for not just the presidency, but for Senate and Congress, too (and judges, for that matter). It's just ridiculous, all this superannuated BS. I'd like to see a universal rule for elected officials (and maybe judges) wherein they must be able to finish their terms by, say, age 75 in order to run, or to run again, for office.
If a president, say, wishes to appoint older people to the cabinet, etc., or other positions, I can see that being OK, as a compromise.
On balance, I think there should be a time when individuals get off the stage. It's not personal to any one individual, but I really do think this. People can advise, influence, or whatever, but not hold official office. And I think that from, say, 70 on, there needs to be complete transparency regarding medical issues, because I believe the people have an absolute right to know (meaning that right trumps privacy; you don't have to run for office if you don't want to trade in some of your privacy!).

What prevents algae from growing in swimming pools? Chlorine? Why not use it here.
…it was a project that had a hard deadline and the challenges of Hawaiian judges and normal procurement sclerosis. Sometimes you do what you have to do to accomplish things…Meanwhile y’all are whining about it while the government confirms entitlement fraud is larger than the annual budget deficit. That’s the definition of penny wise and pound foolish but to cap it off Hawaiian judges, homegrown terrorists and the few supporters the left has left vigorously defend the system perpetuating the fraud. If y’all had any sense you’d be embarrassed and ashamed…
Our Founding Fathers were mostly in their midlife. Most were in their 40s, with some being older, and some significant ones younger (some much younger). Yes, I've know we've made truly significant improvements in length of life and in medical/health knowledge and tools, etc. But still, life catches up with most people. It comes to an end, and more often than not with significant decline before it does.

Trump is anomalous as a boomer the next set will pfobably by generation x
I didnt think dc could decay to the point of the ruins in logans run outside of a small nuclear exchange
One fix for algae, is dye. Black or Blue dye. My 1/3 acre pond, has a fountain and aerators. I treat it with bacteria. But still there's algae. There's also algaecide. Doesn't take much. Oh! And Copper sulphate. Throw some copper in the water that will eliminate the algae.
You can see it clearly in the video.
…the reporter also says the nanobubbler is working and the color will be resolved in a day or two. Clearly a plant Trump hand selected, you see…
…will we get an update? Only if it’s embarrassing for the right people…
Not unexpected.
Lori did you move to texas
In terms of algae growth, I doubt there is a huge difference between the grey and dark blue and algae growth would be a problem in either case, as it always has been. It would be a problem even if you coated the pool with white.
What I recall the color experts saying is that blue wasn't dark enough and some said that the coating should be black. The discussion of the color before the pool opened was about how well the chosen color would reflect, not about algae growth.
Also, let's not lose sight of the fact that the pool was leaking 45,000 gallons a day. The primary purpose of the coating was to stop the leaks. Has it done that? Apparently it has.
So we had an unmitigated algae problem before in a grey-bottom pool that leaked 16 million gallons a year. Now we have a mitigated algae problem in a blue pool that doesn't leak.

[shrug] Trump is good at fixing things that aren’t working right. No reason to think this will be different.
Where were these pool experts six months ago when it waa a fetid soup out of gledi prime
In one week Trump surrenders to Iran and the algae.
It seems that the problem is well understood. They had the choice to either overbuild, which would color the experience, or to adapt to evolving conditions. Either way it is a dynamic situation.
With the surfaces sealed, the issue is catastrophic migration, which can only be mitigated through affirmative action.
Well...to his credit, it did look pretty damned good for a couple of days. We could all see what the vision was, something we'd not seen in years (maybe forever?).
So...now it's back to the drawing board and...hey...wait a minute. How about this? Muck Reducer.
I can see the headlines now.
The issue was and continues to be how the contract was awarded.
Really? So when Obama went through the process “correctly” (in your opinion) the outcome was better, and the algae bloom did not return in the same two week span after repair?
That sounds stupid as all hell and you have no evidence anything improper took place. You already flamed out saying it wasn’t an emergency when it exactly fits the definition under applicable law. So what’s your new theory making the contract “worse” than the annoying algae?
IMPEACH!
Everyone wants instant results from Trump. Some things take time to correct. Removing the algae from a shallow body of water with an aeration system isn't instant. Other chemicals depending on the type of algae...they aren't all the same you know...also takes time.
Ditto with the complicated foreign policy negotiations going on. There isn't instant agreements...OR especially instant results. Economic results from tariffs or from increased or decreased oil production overseas takes a lot of time to "trickle down" into the huge and highly interconnected economy that we have.
Have some patience people.

"The issue was and continues to be how the contract was awarded."
Nope. The issue was and continues to be "What has Trump done today that I can bitch about?"
"Is your pool 2000 ft by 167 ft and a foot and a half and two and a half feet deep?"
As a matter of fact it is. How did you know?
The depth of the pool is of minor import. One important thing is access to sunlight, unless you're situated directly on the equator. In the northern hemisphere, the south wall is where the algae forms, and the depth of the pool does not affect where it forms.
I just threw some shock in my pool this morning, as there was some green on the south wall in the deep end. The pool was awed.
Perhaps they re-filled the pool with the dem's Poopy Potomac water?
"Is the war over yet?" " Is the pool fixed yet?"...
Where were these champions and demanders of rapid solutions when Obama and Biden were in office?
Are we there yet?
A huge shallow pool of fresh water in the blistering DC summer is going to go green and slimy. I suspect they minimize the chlorine and chemicals because of the many geese and other birds that live in it/hang out there. There's often a lot of goose poop along the edges.
The pool has always been a slime pit that looks better in photos than in real life. It's not clear to me why the proven green/brown water of the prior color could be any worse than green/brown slime of the current dark blue color.
Retired geochemist here. In fresh water it is generally excess phosphorus which wll stimulate algal growth. In salt water, more commonly nitrogen.
Algæ can be killed/controlled rather easily with copper sulphate, which happens to be nearly the same shade of blue.
Personally, it would not surprise me if it turns out some lefties made a nighttime dump of phosphoric acid, which is readily available and even used in processed foods ... made such a dump specifically to cause such a problem in order to embarrass the President. Not saying that's the case, but it would be an easy move and sure would not surprise me.
So when Obama went through the process “correctly” (in your opinion) the outcome was better, and the algae bloom did not return in the same two week span after repair?
As I stated when Althouse was raving about what an amazing job Trump had done, the reflecting pool probably can't be fixed and was probably a bad idea from the start (way back in 1919).
You already flamed out saying it wasn’t an emergency when it exactly fits the definition under applicable law.
I don't know how I "flamed out". It is definitely not an emergency. "I want it to look pretty for 250" does not fit the definition of an emergency, no matter how much you want to excuse Trump for cutting corners, and likely deferring maintenance and repair that the NPS considers more important. Just because Republicans have cut the NPS's budget to the bone, doesn't justify Trump going off by himself and reordering priorities.

What’s it all about Algae?
@Bart Hall --
Given the recent DC mall vandalism (cutting a fuel line; burning 8647 in the grass) and memories for the 2016 Rio Olympic swimming pool chemical farce, I'm 99.99% sure that any instant water change resulted from vandalism.
Still, that swampy reflecting pool needs no assistance to become swampy really fast.
Thanks, Obama
Yes, switching the Reflecting Pool's resupply to natural, untreated river water from the nearby Tidal Basin has been cited by experts as a major driver of the recurring algae outbreaks.
The water supply for the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was switched from city drinking water to circulated raw water from the Tidal Basin during its 2012 restoration and reconstruction. This update eliminated the use of municipal water, saving roughly 17 million gallons of potable water each year.
Regarding chlorine and birds; I have a pool that is chlorinated as well as my neighbors. We still have to chase the migrating ducks from nesting in the pools. One of my neighbors was unlucky and now the ducks are giving swimming lessons to the ducklings in the pool. It may seem "cute", but they do shit everywhere. In the pool, on the deck, on furniture, and if you're lucky on the yard. Meanwhile, the pool is inaccessible.
If the claim is the chlorine would hurt the wildlife; I suspect they are a credentialed expert that doesn't get out much.
Musk should invent a fleet of underwater drones to scrub and filter the pool.

This is indeed DC, where the recent DEI sewer manager "handled" the Potomac River break just this year. He got removed on June 5.

An easy score for the mischief makers, would be my guess. I don't know how much copper sulfate they would need to shock treat it, and I suppose they have compared their estimates of evaporative losses to the measured losses to see if it's still leaking. I thought most new pools now are salt water, which cuts way down on the requirements for added chlorine. I wonder if they shocked it with copper and converted to salt water, if the algae would be kept in check?

Weird that algae gets over 10x the comments than the story about Putin having an artist shot.
Green is one of the month's pride colors.
Historians will say it was a reflection unlike any other reflection.
The pool is reflecting alright -- just the swamp Trump created.
Shallow pools with little/no moving filtered water are likely to be green. Most adults know this.
I can take a stab about why the repairs cost so much. A key factor is that the Trump administration awarded a no-bid contract to Atlantic Industrial Coatings, rather than soliciting competitive bids to get the best deal for taxpayers. Atlantic Industrial Coatings is charging a 20% profit margin, whereas a typical profit margin for contracts like this one is 6-12%.
Defeated by Iran and algae on the same day. What an embarrassment.
What prevents algae from growing in swimming pools? Chlorine? Why not use it here?
Making it a salt water pond would be the most ideal. You would need a pretty large salt cell to convert the salt to natural chlorine, but maintenance is pretty easy once you get it looking good.

Initial estimates for repair were in the $200-$300m range.
What a thrilling national conversation on water pool management! How relevant to national priorities! The London Times is right on it. I suppose due to the pristine water quality of the Thames River the people of London have a lot to add.
yah and there was probably more money saved not sending it through the bureaucracy than the fabricated delta being whined about…
All according to plan comrades.
"Initial estimates for repair were in the $200-$300m range."
I am constantly amazed at the cost of government projects. How in the world could it cost $300M?
Nature finds a way.
@IEE on advocating competitive bidding.
If you'd ever been exposed to the federal competitive contract bidding process you would understand the massive negatives and high costs of that method. Competitive bids involve extremely long selection timelines, internal review labor, the low-cost "winners" in fake-it-till-you-make-it mode delivering sheer garbage, DEI/Veterans' Preference shell games, and inevitable lawsuits/protests over the selection.
A large percentage of contracts are no-bid because it's impossible to get anything done otherwise. No-bid has been routine across administrations for ages, and this is fully unrelated to Trump.
KU writes: "Initial estimates for repair were in the $200-$300m range."
The $200–$300m figure refers to earlier proposals for a much more extensive rebuild (not the recent painting project).

It was expected, the NPS acted promptly, and did what was warranted. How is that embarrassing? H2O2 acts quickly, so UV light is not likely a factor, but chlorine or Copper Sulfate is a good plan for ongoing maintenance. It's also better than letting it sit with green algae for years. That was embarrassing.
Trump administration restores wetlands
Algae is actually very good for rewilding reflecting pools. Checkmate, libs.
Trump’s role model appears to be Jimmy Carter, whose Iran disaster was prefigured by an obsession with the White House tennis courts.
I previously described how I maintain perfectly clear water in my 2000 gallon pond even now with the daily temperature here at about 114 degrees F and full sun. I use a UV light near the circulation pump so that the water is continuously exposed as it's circulated. No harm to the plants or animals living there. A.I. tells me the same system run continuously scaled up to 6.75 M gallons would cost about $500 per day in electricity for the UV light. They have to pump the water anyway. Is that cheaper? It very simple and the light bulbs last at least a year.

So the result was the same as previously, but at a much lower cost. Not really embarrassing if the pervious failures weren't.

It is amazing how environmental protection laws actually work! . . . then again, maybe not.
The 32-year official restocking program ended in failure in 2011 a self-sustaining population never took hold.
In 2005, not a single salmon returned to spawn despite 30,000 young fish being released.
In 2023, only about 443 salmon were estimated to have returned - versus nearly 4,000 a year in the 1980s.
Ducks in your pool will quickly create an algae bloom even with chlorination. They bring in algae spores, they highly fertilize the water and the waste also overwhelms the chlorination. The pool turns a really eerie color of green and it's a mess to fix. After raising a couple families of ducks, I had enough and trained my dog to chase them when they come, which she loves to do. It's now her favorite thing and she's really good at it.
This wouldn't happen if they replaced the water with baby oil.
I keep the algae down in my ca. 13k gallon pool by keeping the chlorine fairly high which I can do because we don't actually use it that much. Still have to brush it every couple of weeks in the spots that get a lot of sun though. (Also in AZ where it's dashedly hot and sunny) Various wildlife drink from it (also unfortunately drown in it) and I don't think it's harming them at all.
You have to actively maintain pools no matter what. Once you get it down it's not a terribly lot of work, but you have to stay on it.
…ranch manager uses copper rod in the troughs
Just go back to using municipal drinking water instead of feces laden Potomac River water. Spend the money on upgrading municipal water treatment throughout the city rather than set up a small municipal water treatment system just for the reflecting pond.
Why not backyard pool chlorine?

"CNN: CNN independently took the sample of water and consulted with the pool store that regularly tests water to help read the results. It showed phosphate levels far higher than what is recommended to keep algae at bay, based on estimates for a pool that holds 6.5 million gallons of water."
So you may be right about sabotage. At this point it would be completely unsurprising.
Well you are notoriously slow to admit your lies Freder. Any Federal property that is in “disrepair” qualifies for exemption from open bidding. YOU posted the exceptions and Althouse and I both pointed out that your claim was contradicted by the law that you yourself quoted.
It’s like your “all war is illegal” stance. Both of your assertions can only be true if you ignore the actual definition of the words you use.
The Strait of Hormuz is quickly becoming irrelevant to the area. Once the new pipelines and terminals come online the traffic will drop precipitously. Iran way overplayed their hand and united the entire Arab world against them. Made UAE and Israel into defense partners! What idiots see as Trump failure is usually easily explained as, well they ARE idiots.
Well you are notoriously slow to admit your lies Freder. Any Federal property that is in “disrepair” qualifies for exemption from open bidding.
Got a cite for that?
When the algae is gone in a week will the Times print a similarly-placed article?
Phosphate is the main culprit from ducks too. It's a simple one-day process of adding phosphate remover and running filtration. Unfortunately, the precipitate produced clogs up your filters, and cleaning them never works as well again. You need to replace the cartridges.
Well it is experimental, isn’t it? But everything Trump is a trigger for attack by the leftmediaswine. Now the pool is turning Obama green. Just like before Trump. Pools get algae.
It wasn't that hard for me to find the pertinent US Code regarding non-competitive bidding and see exactly how a $13m acquisition contract could be awarded to repair the Reflection Pool ahead of the US Semiquincentennial celebration.
It seems unreasonable to ask others do something you are unwilling to do. To ask like that seems a copout. Add some burning hatred, and some might say a "flame out".
Freder: “That the fix didn't work just emphasizes the inherent corruption.” The Democrat psychological projection, fixating on a lawful $15 million pool renovation in the face of $trillions in fraud and kickbacks by Democrats and their consorts in Democrat-run entities.
Another Factor besides the use of highly polluted Potomac River tidal base for makeup water, the circulation system takes 3 or 4 days to completely process one volume of water in the reflecting pond. By comparison, most home pool systems turn over the volume of water in the pool three times per day.
Maybe they need to deploy a fleet of Roomba pool Sweepers
Freder - Now do MN fraud and corruption - to the tune of billions in wasted tax payer dollars.
I will be seriously disappointed if Trump, used to dealing with contractors and contracts, does not have a performance guarantee already in place.
Just scroll through the archive of reflection pool posts. God leftists are so fucking lazy! OTOH you forgetting what you write is SOP.
He DID cite the language in the prior thread. “Disrepair” is one predicate for “emergency” bids. Government declares emergency powers all the time in many contexts. Only Trump is held to the impossible FF standards. And he makes up new rules so that he can claim Trump “ain’t doing it right.”
Hid name is a killing word like muadib
@Howard --
The Potomac River is nasty on both ends. It's muddy when it rains up the mountain, and it gets ocean tidal backwash all the way up to Georgetown. That source needs to be pre-processed to drinking water purity for this purpose ~~~ which is what they actually due to Potomac River water anyway.
Pulling directly from the river is nuts.
It wasn't that hard for me to find the pertinent US Code regarding non-competitive bidding and see exactly how a $13m acquisition contract could be awarded to repair the Reflection Pool ahead of the US Semiquincentennial celebration.

“I hope they fix it, but for now, it's at least embarrassing.” I used to have a pool. When it inevitably got algae it was
s-o-o embarrassing. /s
And yet, you don't cite the U.S. code section.
Ditto, yet you are the only one arguing it wasn’t met. You’re the only one bringing up the code and challenging the code, but you haven’t cited the code. You demand others do that work for you. Do you own work, cop out.
It's just more "I hate Trump" pron.
The left doesn't care about the pool. None of them said a word about it while President Roomba was in charge of wandering around stages.
Can you redo the survey on how beautiful the pool is?

I like your idea, Achilles.
UV + Ozone = Hydroxyl radical (•OH) which is the most powerful oxidizer of the reactive oxygen species. The big advantage over chlorination is this does not produce any disinfection by-products.
Another thing I just thought of is the oxidation capacity of titanium dioxide. That could have been added to the dark blue paint to make it more hostile to algae.
