Something to do with the gallons of bleach poured in to kill the algae?

Thanks

Add a lit microbial action to the mix.

They built a reflecting washing machine.

from every report I read this was similar to a pool liner. That shouldn't be affected by bleach or hydrogen peroxide.

In the deep part where chemicals pooled because I didn't sweep the crystals off the bottom.

Hypochlorite salts? Calcium hypochlorite or something?

The action of solid crystals on the surface of the liner is way more intense than the dilute peroxide action in the reflecting pool.

It is really interesting chemistry. I wonder how it happened.

While it isn't the exact formula used in bed liners, the company that made the product Trump used on the Reflecting Pool is one of the two biggest manufacturers of truck bed lining.

A pool liner is sorta like a bag you attach to the walls of your pool to keep the water in. This was sprayed on.

$16 million "cost" means that money moved from one bank account to another.

Where is it now?

Trump obviously is.

Things are a lot more complicated now with all the multiple levels of shell corporations/LLCs/off-shore partnerships, etc.

To say nothing about flat-out lying on any required form.

I feel for you!

Isn't that what color it was $15 million ago?

they fix whatever pipes might be broken, seal seams if needed, and leave it gray? Fill it back up and let it be.

Put the $$ into something else that he's screwed up. Or, put it toward the $16,000 per hour in helicopter costs it takes to tote JD Vance's son to his golf lessons?

Problem solved.

I suspect years of use of that dye would leave the lining darkened anyway, which should also make the reflecting pool seemingly more reflective. Trmp's plan to paint it FL-swimming-pool blue was horribly misguided from the beginning. No one in this maladministration gives a shit about history, tradition, established procedures, or records left by their predecessors. They COULD HAVE read up on how and why the pool was designed the way it was, but NOOOOOOOOO!

Amazing how reflecting pools can show one's true colors.

Get to pay for each and every one of his trump blunders!
Remember that next time you think of 'great again'.

Plant roses in memory of the Rose Garden.

nukes in his sights, and is now scrambling to get back where Obama had us?

It would reflect the somber reality that it was meant to convey, in my opinion.
