CNN water test reveals how Trump administration turned the Reflecting Pool GREEN

And we're going to scoop up a water sample to see if we can get this tested.

CNN independently took the sample of water and consulted with a pool store that regularly tests water to help read the results.It showed phosphate levels far higher than what is recommended to keep algae at bay based on estimates for a pool that holds 6 .5 million gallons of water.

If there's already some phosphate fertilizer in the water, That's really opportunistic, especially for the blue -green algae that can fix nitrogen.So they are having a field day out here, probably.

The Department of Interior says they believe some of the initial problem was residual algae that had accumulated in pipes, and insists the filtration system, called the ozone nanobubbler, is working.
