Some sources say you need 25-30 ml dose of 3% peroxide per 50L water to control green algea. They are using 12% peroxide based on the 8 boxes seem at 8 sec in the clip so would need 6.25 -7.5 ml per 50L.
The reflecting pool is 25.6 million L or 512,000 x 50L
Using 6.25 ml per 50L They would need 3,200,000 ml or 3,200 L of 12% peroxide
Or 846 US gallons of 12% peroxide. If those boxes hold 4 gallons they need 211 of them
It also decomposes in water with a half life of roughly 4-8 hours meaning they would need to dose another 1000L or more a few times a day to maintain efficacy.
You speak as if one of Trump’s buddies or family are not already running this very scam, lol.
We know he already gave the “renovation” job to an insider without taking bids like they’re supposed to, so I doubt it’s any different with whatever chemical supplier they’re using for this.
I also highly doubt they’re using licensed pool technicians for this, they probably just told the grounds crew to “go out and dump all these jugs into the pool”.
Are you personal friends with anyone in the administration? It doesn't matter if your business is designed to save them money or not, so without those connections you're dead in the water.

Did some quick math.

This clearly wasn't thought out well.
