The algae is back.
>> Exactly, and it's probably never going to go away
>> [laughter]
>> regardless of who's president and who's pushing for it.
Um but I like it a little gamey to be honest with you and realistic.
>> The water in this area is very high phosphate and it is prone to algae bloom
and in order to prevent that you have to treat it like a swimming pool with chemicals, chlorine, etc.
And that's not what this pool was designed for.
>> I knew they were trying to make it blue.
For me, I think it's an impossible task.
Having a pool myself, I know what it takes and what a an environmental wreck it is to keep dumping those chemicals in the water to keep it blue.
actually to see that it was sort of a natural green and I could still see the
reflection of the Washington in the pool itself. So, I'm really glad about that.
>> Absolutely. It was a 100% waste of funds.
I do however see that the National Park Service is getting some work today clearing out the algae.
>> They might be able to get it blue for the 4th of July, but it won't stay that way.
I doubt it. I'm glad they're
trying, but honestly,
I don't think you can fight Mother Nature. Anytime you have an environment that big, that's like cleaning a lake.
As long as it doesn't stink,
I'm okay and as long as
I can enjoy it and get close, I'm I'm fine with it and happy about it.
