  Isn’t part of the purpose of the paint to be algae resistant?

    The paint might be but… it’s an outdoor pool with a huge surface area where ducks live. Previously the bottom was grey duck-pond-sludge color so you couldn’t see that it was full of grey duck pond sludge.

    That is to say, the paint might be algae resistant but the shit that will be all over it will not be algae resistant.

      Maybe the parasitic snail problem killing the ducks wasn’t so accidental after all.

        Yeah. Even if there are no ducks, and lots of snails or whatever to eat sludge, it will still get full of that gritty dusty smeg that cities produce.

    Brazil couldn’t even keep an indoor Olympic pool from turning green. It’s apparently very hard.
