Do they not have a pool guy, or? They're doing it all wrong. Just like how they're running the country.
He got picked up by ICE
They found an undocumented guy outside home depot who said he could clean pools and his price was lower than the previous guy. Then they refused to pay him. So no, they no longer have a pool guy.
To be fair, when I was a pool boy (for my home pool), this is basically how we would get the water ready (“shocking” it with a load of bleach, bc it has lots of chlorine)
The article says they dumped Hydogen Peroxide AND bleach into the pool... that causes a reactive chemical mix decomposing the effectiveness of both chemicals and creating dangerous situation for wildlife and people nearby...
Besides. Even if just shocking the water with only hypo, you should test the waters chemical balance beforehand to gauge the effectiveness of the shock, otherwise you're wasting a ton of money.
TRUMP: And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning.
And they come to me, and they say, with tears in their eyes, because of the chlorine, they say, crying, with red eyes, they say to me, please sir, can we have some more chlorine.
US not being able to tame a pool is a peak metaphor to this declining empire. If it wasn't for all american friends suffering I'd be laughing real hard every single day.
“Unlike under Obama and Biden, the National Park Service is actually maintaining the beautifully completed Reflecting Pool,” the spokesperson told The Independent. “To keep the water in the Reflecting Pool not only crystal clear but also clean, we are deploying high-tech nanobubble ozone technology. This technology is actively killing algae, pathogens (e.g., E. coli), and contaminants that have long plagued the Reflecting Pool since 1922, most infamously, the Obama pool reopening that resulted in massive algae clumps taking over the pool’s surface following years of construction that cost taxpayers millions upon millions only to be broken and disgusting days later.”
Why does every dipshit in this administration have the exact same speech pattern?
It's the verbal equivalent of Mar-a-Lago face.
Or, in gamer terms, it's the current meta.
The ozone tech was installed under Obama. They clearly just turned it back on.
What better way to venerate glorious leader than to emulate his speech?
pathogens (e.g., E. coli)
Why are they using water with e. coli in it to fill the reflecting pool? Sure, someone might be shitting in it, but on a level that it's going to effectively contaminate that big a body of water there would be a noticeable amount of poopers.
Because the pool leaks. There wasn't a good way to fix that, so rather than use municipal drinking water to fill the pool and have it leak into the swamp, they're using the tidal water to fill the pool. It's a significant cost saving measure, so of course this administration hates it.
You tend to adopt similar patterns to those around you, all it takes is a couple of dipshits doing it due to stupidity for the entire cavalcade to be doing it unintentionally.
Because everything is everyone else’s fault.
This is so insanely dumb.
If they were to ask an acutal pond expert the answer could be to drop some Daphnia in there which will munch up the algae within a couple of weeks and prevent the pool from regreening by building up a permanent population.
Exactly!! Literally, add a few thousand microfauna, and the problem would balance itself. But nooooo, because no one in this fucking regime passed high school biology.
Dropping in animals? Like in a zoo?damn libtards and their ideas
Works in your squarium too! And feeds the littler fish.
And now all that paint/coating is peeling off. ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ
I like how even the mall cops are looking at the guy dumping in peroxide incredulously.
I’m pretty sure those are the army rangers whose job is now to scrub the pool.
No I’m not joking.
With a toothbrush.
Why do I feel like these ideas are coming from ChatGPT
Australia has just the brand for this /s
Besides the racism implications, it being lemon scented also fits!
Won't the dead algae just act as even more nutrients for an even larger algae bloom? You can't just kill it, you gotta remove the material.
they got that figured out, stupid -
So, the same treatment as for COVID?
Don’t you need a chlorine shock treatment? And some sort of “pool system”? Maybe we can invent one…
Article is blocked, but they mean Chlorine Shock, right? Because Shock is a powder, not a liquid.
Chlorine for water treatment is available as a solid, a liquid and you can even directly inject chlorine gas. Once it's in the water it doesn't matter.
But I doubt it's an effective strategy for dealing with that much algae in that much water. It's not even particularly effective in a pool unless you also remove the food sources.
My understanding from a previous article and this one is, no. Not Chlorine Shock, commonly used to clean pools. No, they have been seen dumping jugs of hydrogen peroxide.
This was a problem before? How this became a problem now?
Its always been a problem. DC is built on a swamp, and swamp water is filled with algae.
This is a problem now because they chose the hottest part of the year to do this, and algae love warm water.
