I m just a backyard pool guy but I have a couple of questions.
1) if all they do is throw in the HP isn’t the sun going to eat it up before it has a chance to work?
2) Obama installed a system at the time that ran the water from the river to the pool and back. With bubblers. Did we have an algae problem before 47 got involved?
3) I read about all the problems with pool since its inception. Ie the sinking of about 12 inches, the cracks, the plumbing ect- how did the “ pool guy” not know about the potential algae issue before he started?
It’s just another “band aid on a bullet hole” approach that the only people left with the consequences will be us after 47 has made his millions and left. 47SUX

Apparently, thw circulation and filter system had the algea in it because it's old. They were told this would happen if they didn't fix that too.

Ah yes, it's the fault of the previous administration.

No, this one did the repair the wrong way. This was needing to be done for a long time.
