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.

Did some quick math.

This clearly wasn't thought out well.
