It would be hilarious if it wasn’t wasting 14.2 million dollars on a no bid contract that we all knew was going to fail since it was, just like everything Trump, surface level.

Apparently they’re using peroxide not chlorine
But peroxide breaks down in water and sun, so they’ll need a lot of it.
Apparently they added a bubbler, but who knows if that’ll work.
Chlorine also is degraded by UV, which is why pools usually maintain some level of CYA which acts as a stabilizer to a certain degree. CYA is naturally present in granulated chlorine (dichlor) but not in liquid chlorine (bleach), which is why the “dichlor to bleach” method starts with dichlor for a while to built a reserve of CYA, before switching to bleach. Too much CYA decreases the effectiveness of chlorine, so keeping it around 30 ppm is optimal.
Writing this got me wondering what the fine folks at TroubleFreePool think about this whole debacle… https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/lincoln-memorial-reflecting-pool.325291/
