>Obama tries to clean it up>two years of construction later>fills back up with algae in a week>Trump tries to clean it up>two months of construction later>fills back up with algae in a weekI'm starting to think that maybe a giant pool of shallow stagnant water in the middle of a swamp isn't a very good idea for a monument.
you can't keep it blue, they just need to die it black.
>>537432133>>fills back up with algae in a weekLine it in copper, no algae.
>>537432133DC should just turn it into a Mecca of nigger worship with the BBC bazaar
>>537432133Why does it have to be water? Can they just put a mirror there
>>537432133You may be on to something anon
>>537432133Can't they just make it salt water like the dead sea? Literally nothing will grow in it.

>>537432133Deflecting already, shitty leftist?https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/06/video-leftists-vandalize-trumps-newly-renovated-reflecting-pool/
>>537433084it's connected underground to the Tidal Basin and Potomac Riverthere is no way to prevent algae from getting in there
>>537432133The reflecting pool was never that interesting. And now the media talks about it daily while a war goes on. Iran already backed out of the negotiations since Israel refused to stop bombing their allies in Lebanon. Of course the media is not even talking about it.
>>537432133
>>537432133Seems to be a much deeper issue originating with the plumbing and water treatment system itself. I'm guessing nobody wants to go through with checking those out because they'd have to close a large portion of the park in order to dig it all out.
>>537433122>MIGA>can't readChecks out
Why not just have a filtering system like a fish tank. This really shouldn’t be the most complex operation in American engineering history.
Just use it for a giant piss trough and wading/washing pool.
>>537433122You people are fucking tiring.
>>537432133>I'm starting to think that maybe a giant pool of shallow stagnant water in the middle of a swamp isn't a very good idea for a monument.Terrorist.
>>537433244The world needs more fat guys who wear suits and smoke comically large cigars.
My reflecting pool.My algae.My swamp.
>>537432215I was thinking along these lines. Even just some copper rods along the bottom edge might do the trick.
>>537432133Just fill the entire thing with mercury
>>537433319Fuck you!!!Pool filtration is a test on the white race, it's what separates shitskin civilizations like Romans and Aztecs from white civilizations like Atlantis and Ancient Egypt's secret white rulers.TL;DR: pool filtration is more difficult than what it seems, my pool is green currently
>>537432133It's not stagnant. It is filtered. It is being treated with chemicals.
>>537432215Fucking shitskin without protestant work ethic.
>>537432133They won't let you climb the steps of the washington monument because its too strong. Its the strongest obelisk ever. Its even more taller than my obelisk. People have died!
>>537432215>Line it in copper
Would it kill Trump for once in his life to admit that he fucked up? "Yeah, we fucked up. All that taxpayer money, wasted, and the pool looks worse than ever before. It turned into a swamp and we're going to have to drain it."
>>537433109-anometer wavelengths?
Nature is victorious over judeo masons and their dumb Osiris penis statue pool.
>>537432133Fill it with epoxide - maybe polish it every few years afterwards.
Chlorine or pro fish pond filters
>>537432133>I'm starting to think that maybe a giant pool of shallow stagnant water in the middle of a swamp isn't a very good idea for a monument.Yeah no shit. It's amazing that people don't know this. Anyone with a damn fish tank knows what's up here.
Why dont they just use blue dye like they use in ponds?
>>537432133The pool was created in 1923. Did it fill with algae and look like shit back during the first few years too? What did they do 100 years ago that they aren't doing now
>>537432133I saw someone saying the type of stone on the bottom was changed
>>537435789Someone probably cleaned it for 10 cents an hour
>>537435789some jew would've lobbied to make it less easy-care, while tendering to be in charge of it at the same time
Why don't they just put in some filters lol
i've never been there, but assoomed it had filtration. shrug, not my problem. never liked dc, never wanted to go. only heard about it from the movies.
>>537432133It's symbolic of Dump's failed presidency. The green algae represents the swamp he didn't drain. No high profile arrests. No mass deportations. It also represents the straight of Hormuz which this retard closed and destroyed the world economy.
>>537436092It was a no bid contract to an old donor. Fact migatards are defending blatant kleptocracy is embarrassing. He made America a joke.
>>537434789>pool filtration is more difficult than what it seems, my pool is green currentlyComparing your broke, hillbilly ass to the Federal government, and their budget for maintenance? Really???
>>537435789Climate change creates more algea. You can track the big increase in water warnings and algea blooms in the rural areas.
>>537433084Thats actually a good idea.
>>537434789Have you tried creating a bog filter? I used that to clean up my pond. However, my pond isn't all that big. I don't know what you have going on but it does help! Remember all you need to do is increase the surface area for the nitrogen eating bacteria to propogate. Good luck!
>>537435789Here the basic gestalt:>from 1923 to Obama, it used drinking water, which was treated with chlorine >The Obama Administration didn’t like how it used 30 million gallons of drinking water per year, so it was changed to use water from the Tidal Basin (basically Potomac River water), refreshing constantly. But now you can’t use harsh chemicals because for environmental and cost reasons due to them being flushed back into the Tidal Basin>Trump makes it worse by putting a dark paint job which makes the water warmer and therefore a batter environment for algae growthShort of re-doing the entire thing and putting it back to a closed system with drinking water and harsh chemicals, there is nothing that can be done.
>>537436843Why couldn't they take all of our great ideas from this thread and use them to solve the problem?>Close the system>Use salt water>Line the bottom perimeter with copperEzpz.
They should just drain it and fill it with sand and call it the desert wars memorial.
algae in the reflecting pool isn't new.50% of the country being dipshits that thought painting it blue would make the algae go away - is.
>>537432133Why not drain it and line it with white marble?If you've been to an open air mosque it's the same idea. They look great.
>>537432215>Line it in copperwait until the gypsies hear about this
>>537439738I know for a fact that they make algae killing paint.
We should use any possible excuse to tear down the Lincoln memorial
>>537432133HOLY SHIT NIGGERS SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT THE REFLECTING POOL.The filtration and circulation system is being refurbished as well and should be up and running by September. They are trying to a low cost way of keeping it clear, until the new filtration is in place. Anybody that has dealt with ponds and pools, knows that right after you fill it, you get a bloom and now the goal will be to try and keep the oxygen levels high enough to sequester the phosphorus in the sediment layer to suppress the algae blooms and promote bacterial/biofilm growth. Its not exactly easy to do this with a barely/non-functioning filtration system.Just chill the fuck out retards.
>>537433233trump kept posting about the pool for months and even did ridiculous photo ops like pic related, media is taking advantage of the momentum of his failure to rake in views Iran war is extremely old news cycle by now
>>537432215good idea, it would work until the tweakers stripped it clean.
I just tried to find leftist memes for an unrelated thread and the ONLY memes I could find were pool memes.This is literally all they have and it's why they have to spam it 24/7, went on troonsky and it's just endless posts about the pool or no memes at all. How do they even post online, like do they even talk about politically related topics? Because I don't see any memes or fun had by them, they unironically post only this pool shit all day. It's been a two weeks already and it's the most dead meme you can imagine, but they haven't made a new one after all that time.
>>537432215The locals are forced by capitalism to remove copper from anywhere its easily accessible
>>537434754This is actually the way but europeans are too cucked on mercury. I bet that tomb of the first emperor of china with it's mercury rivers looks absolutely kino if those fucking chinese would let us see it.
>>537432133>rent free
>>537440005Americans love gypsies for some wierd reason so that is just a bonus.
>>537432133why wont they just pour in bleach?
>>537433226This is something recent that Obama changed, before that it was filled with city tap water and had zero algae. The reasoning was it would be more economical and environmentally friendly in the long run, funny how that worked out.
>>537436843Classic mistake. If you want better reflection, you want WHITE not black, because white reflects more photons. People in charge of it are idiots.
>>537441191well if they leave a load of copper outside, they're gonna be drowning in gypsies. so that's all good then.
>>537441299they have to save the bleach for drinking in case covid comes back.
>>537441418
>>537433479i find them hilarious, because they are coping so hard an so much that they have to outright attempt to spread lies and still no one is buying it.
>>537432207black is going to absorb heat and make algae more likely to bloomthere's basically no way around this. to have the water reflect, it needs to be still. which means you can't do what you really need to do, which is filter it
>>537441418>>537436843Why was it using so much water?
>>537441679imbecilic opinion from a butthurt belter, should have kept the soviet schooling system because it was actually good instead of whatever brainrot they teach you nowadaysYou want the WATER to be reflecting, not the base material of the pool, the more light the base material reflects, the poorer the quality of the reflection you will see.Yes this was done like shit by corrupt contractors, but ideally the base of the pool should be vantablack.
>>537432133It's Jewish art designed to humiliate America.
>>537436843>>>The Obama Administration didn’t like how it used 30 million gallons of drinking water per year,lel meanwhile datacenters use that in 1 minute every daynot even meming>A large hyperscale data center consumes between 1 and 5 million gallons of water daily—equivalent to the daily usage of a town of 10,000 to 50,000 people. This water is predominantly used for evaporative cooling to prevent servers and AI chips from overheating.
that stupid pool was always a terrible idea
>>537432133It's the fucken Whitehouse. Just install pool filters and have a pool boy who puts chlorine in it every week.
>>537442068they could just run the filters after visiting hours through the night when no ones around to see the water jets
>>537436843I swear to fuck, the fucking actual ancient romans could solve this problem. The fact that it looks like we can't, is embarrassing.
>>537436843put white marble in the bottom and fill it with blue gatorade
>>537432133They should put lily pads and goldfish.
>>537432133Why no chlorine or filtration system?
>>537441418>more economical and environmentally friendly in the long runy tho? It made everything worse.
>>537443978It's open 24/7. If you had the filters running from 10pm-7pm (9 hours), you could maybe use a bunch of commercial grade filters used in waterparks, but I think it would ruin the ambiance. You'd probably have to build some underground facility to manage it without having some big ugly building there and I'm not sure that's possible since it's all swamp.
> dirty poolProblems of a superpower.
Maybe uv lights in the bottom.
>>537436843So basically the two main options are either let it turn into a perpetual swamp or spend eight digits a year running tap water through it. Turn it into a murky swamp because Lincoln's dream is fucking dead and buried and fill the thing full of koi fish and other critters.
