CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hmm. Looks like whatever they're doing ain't working. Here's the current photo, less than an hour after the last one in my last post. All green again.

$14 million and the necessary repairs to stop leaks still haven’t been done, the “American flag blue” bottom treatment is already peeling off and contaminating the water and there’s more algae growing in the pool now than before any renovations were done.
Truly the art of the deal, folks. We’re watching a master developer at work here.

The Reflecting Pool water is crystal clear, and our National Park Service team is now vacuuming up the dead algae resting on the bottom of some parts of the Reflecting Pool—just like the destroyed Iranian Navy resting on the bottom of the Persian Gulf

Hey, guys, you know what I noticed. Our conservative friends seem to be awfully quiet. Surely they would like to join us in the celebration of this grand act of renovation, but they likely have unsubscribed because they already were assured of the grand success.
I hope they join us someday.

AI Overview (Google "hydrogen peroxide paint")
Hydrogen peroxide is a potent oxidizer that effectively acts as a paint stripper.
Hydrogen peroxide-based formulas are frequently used as environmentally friendly, non-toxic alternatives to harsh chemical strippers (like methylene chloride).
Uses: These peroxide-activated removers are highly effective for breaking down durable coatings, such as polyurethane and epoxy systems, commonly found on aircraft and in industrial applications.

I’m guessing he gets another no bid contract now to redo the coating that’s coming off. Sweet deal for Trump’s pool guy.

I wonder if any of the scientists axed by DOGE last year could have seen this coming.

The water isn't stagnant as long as the recirculation/filtration system is working. As long as - there's the catch. The old one breaks a lot because of the plastic pipes but the new one wasn't connected.
Greenwater Services separately from the resurfacing/painting company Atlantic Industrial Coatings got the contract for the filtration system.
NYT: Firm Tied to Trump Donor Got No-Bid Contract to Clean Reflecting Pool9
A White House spokeswoman said the president was not involved in selecting Greenwater Services, the business owned by a trust led by John J. Cafaro.
A business tied to a longtime supporter of President Trump was given a no-bid contract to install a water-purification system in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool earlier this spring.
...The contract shows that the National Park Service bypassed the competitive-bidding process that is typically required, and gave a $1.7 million contract to the firm, Greenwater Services of Brookfield, Ohio.
Federal contracting records show that firm’s ultimate owner is the J.J. Cafaro Investment Trust, led by John J. Cafaro, a donor to Mr. Trump and a neighbor to Mar-a-Lago, the president’s private club in Florida. The water treatment company also listed Mr. Cafaro’s Palm Beach mansion as its address in Florida corporate records, and listed his investment trust’s phone number and email in Ohio lobbying records.
...The department, which oversees the National Park Service, said that the firm had already brought temporary water-purification sites to the pool, and that it was expected to install a permanent system this week.
Katie Martin, a spokeswoman for the department, declined to say why the Park Service had refilled the pool before the permanent system was in place — raising the risk that it would quickly be clouded with algae.
Ms. Martin and a White House spokeswoman both said the White House was not involved in the selection of this company.
The Times previously reported that David Schutzenhofer, the general manager of Mr. Trump’s golf club in Bedminster, N.J., advised the Park Service on the project and was in contact with Greenwater in January.
The Reflecting Pool’s water is circulated via underground pipes to a nearby building full of filters and water purifiers. The Park Service had planned for years to upgrade that system by adding a “nano bubble” device that killed algae with tiny bubbles of ozone gas.
In a public filing, the Park Service said that multiple firms had expressed interest in providing such a system. But in April, it gave the work directly to Greenwater Services, a company that federal records show had received only one other federal contract.
Haste makes waste.
What are they going to do about the plastic coating, American Flag Blue, detaching? This becomes really important if this affects the caulking of the cement slabs as the joints are where the leaks occur (and broken pipes, but that's separate). The color is merely cosmetic and since the slabs are eight inches thick the water isn't going to leak through the slabs.

This is like a micro mirror of the Iran debacle.
Costs and consequences are totally different of course. But the ignorance and recklessness are fingerprints of the same hand (intermittently) on the tiller.
