The new Trump reflecting pool is a big hit… with algae

12% peroxide isn't concentrated enough to peel paint.

Is reflecting pool's blue paint peeling off?​

The paint began peeling off the bottom of the reflecting pool just days after renovations. Hydrogen peroxide used to treat algae may be the culprit.​

Is hydrogen peroxide the culprit?​

On June 16, CNN reported that NPS workers were vacuuming the bottom of the reflecting pool and pouring hydrogen peroxide into it to the treat the green algae. Hydrogen peroxide is a powerful, yet eco-friendly, algaecide.

According to a research paper written by Polish chemical engineers, hydrogen peroxide is an active ingredient in some paint-remover formulations, suggesting it could be culprit behind the reflecting pool's peeling paint. Washing machine maker Whirlpool also recommends using hydrogen peroxide to remove dried paint from clothes.

regardless - do you think saying what you did helps yer case? 2 weeks in, $14,000,000.00 later & it's a fail. a bigley mountain dew colored FAIL.
 
do believe the peeling paint is around the edges.
What's causing that?

Gee whizz...... Obama spent 34 million and had the same results.

It sure is.
You need about 2,500,000 gallons of 100% hydrogen peroxide to raise the 6,750,000 gallons of the contents of the reflecting pool to 12%.

Epoxy stripper is 30-50% concentration and has to be applied directly to the painted surface.
 
Prices, foreign wars, suspicion that the President is a child diddler... bigly

No suspicion at all, but we KNOW Biden was. We have multiple videos.

Under Biden, we had a weak USA and a strong Iran.

Under Trump, we have a STRONG USA and a weak Iran.

Foreign war is done. Gas prices are dropping. DOW hitting records almost daily. Strong job market. MAGA BABY.

Dead ducks...leaks.....algae.... drained it too.

Doubt 6,750,000 gallons of water with peroxide is going to affect DC drinking water. They get it from the Potomac not the tidal basin.

i was talking about the algae. of course bobby might want to bottle it & sell it as a remedy for autism.
