The reflecting pool is supplied with water from the Tidal Basin. It’s not really possible to chlorinate it.

Not really a pool person but would it be better to apply white or red (and look like a stripe on the flag) or would it be better to make it a lighter Cyan and, while combating the algae, the added light green makes the end result a blueish shade?

What's funny to me is that the algae problems started when they switched off of DC tap water and installed the pump system that draws in Potomac River water. Back in 2011-2012. Before Trump was ever a politician.

i mean if he's been a politician since the 80s i've been one since the Aughts. All i've done is build a few homeless shelters and parks and make sure the food banks were well supplied. Highest office i held was being on the executive board of the corporation that ran all that shit. That's good politics if you ask me.
