The algae in the Reflecting Pool has been almost completely removed despite liberal activists’ best efforts to impede the removal of algae and destroy the pool’s renovations.
Greenwater Services was contracted in April by the Department of the Interior for the “procurement and installation of a fully integrated Nano Bubble Filtration System designed to replace the existing, failing filtration infrastructure at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.”
But the company has come under fire from left-wing media outlets, who claim a conflict of interest because a part-owner of the company is a GOP donor, and that the company has a lack of expertise in filtration systems.
During a recent appearance on CNN, Democratic strategist Ameshia Cross clashed with CNN contributor Scott Jennings over the project. Cross went off, attacking Trump over the algae in the stagnant Reflecting Pool and the choice of contractor, claiming that Trump “flushed our money down the drain and continues to do so.”
“This guy chose someone who didn’t even have a background in it, in the beautification he sought to begin with,” Cross said, crediting Trump for the Department of the Interior’s choice to hire Greenwater Services. “This is somebody who he knew personally because of his Mar-a-Lago connections, but not someone who was able to do exactly what anybody else– I worked at the EPA, knew that algae was going to come. You don’t necessarily have to be a science-minded person to know what was going to happen.”
However, in an exclusive interview with The Gateway Pundit on Wednesday, Greenwater Services spokeswoman Erin Kramer explained how they've turned the algae-infested pool into crystal clear water.
Photos taken on Wednesday show the water is completely free of algae in most places. However, large portions of the bottom have been ripped out, and several people have been arrested for the destruction since last week.

The company, she said, is using "cutting-edge" ozone treatment technology, backed by research from Ohio State University and environmental journals, to pump ozone (O₃) "nano bubbles" throughout the water. "Those go throughout the whole water column, and as they burst, which is natural, it kills the algae, and then the sediment floats to the bottom, so it leaves behind crystal clear water with only oxygen as the byproduct," Kramer said.
"So, you're actually adding oxygen to the water, which is great, so that's why you can see the bottom of the pool really well, and what you see on the bottom is the sediment," she continued. "If we were doing this in a river or a lake, it would get reabsorbed into the environment. Here, it can get vacuumed up, but that's what you see happening here today."
Kramer further likened it to a "fish bubbler on steroids."
She also responded to allegations that wildlife is being killed by the algae removal after an image of a dead duckling in the pool went viral across the internet recently. TMZ claims, "A dead duck was found floating in the Reflecting Pool Sunday ... days after workers were seen dumping hydrogen peroxide into the water." Of course, Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is a common pool treatment, with just one more oxygen atom than pure water (H₂O).
Kramer assured us that the process is "completely chemical-free" and "does not create an environment that would hurt wildlife." In fact, "Most of our work is done in nature. Most of our work is done in rivers and lakes, and it can be done in ponds," she said. "So, it is meant to be very environmentally sustainable."
Moments later, we saw a mother duck and her brood completely healthy in the water.

"It's a really new technology, but it's being used, as I mentioned, in different environments across the country, and to me, what this means for this historic landmark is you're really putting in some very cutting-edge environmental technology here," Kramer added. "And it's not political, it's just science."
One would think the liberal environmentalist crowd would be thrilled to see this technology being used, but they're losing it!

Transcript:
Conradson: Tell us a little bit about what your company's doing here at the Reflecting Pool, and how this project's going.
Kramer: So, we came in to remediate the algae, which you know has been a long-time problem. What the technology does is we use an ozone treatment technology, so it takes regular o2, we turn it into o3, it gets pumped into the pool. That ozone there in the little nano-bubbles that you've probably heard about, because they're nano bubbles, those go throughout the whole water column, and as they burst, which is natural, it kills the algae, and then the sediment floats to the bottom, so it leaves behind crystal clear water with only oxygen as the byproduct.
So, you're actually adding oxygen to the water, which is great, so that's why you can see the bottom of the pool really well, and what you see on the bottom is the sediment. And so, if we were doing this in a river or a lake, it would get reabsorbed into the environment. Here, it can get vacuumed up, but that's what you see happening here today.
Conradson: It's completely clear. I’m not seeing any algae floating around. What has the issue been with algae? Because I'm, I'm reading reports, I'm seeing CNN nightly broadcasts where they're talking about, “Oh, the pool is full of algae, it's disgusting, Trump failed the job.” What's actually going on?
Kramer: I think first of all, you need up to date pictures. I think anyone who comes to the pool today sees how clear it looks. The most important thing is that the system continues to run, so if it stops, algae will grow back, and then you will just need to continue pumping the ozone infused water in, so it's really very simple. We are just about done putting up the permanent structure, and the only thing you need to do this, besides the technology, is air. It's that simple!
Conradson: Yeah, another thing I'm hearing is something about carbon dioxide or some kind of chemicals being put in the water. Is that true?
Kramer: You don't need any chemicals in this process. It is the most effective way to do this. It's completely chemical-free, and as I mentioned, the only byproduct is oxygen.
Conradson: They're freaking out because a duck was found dead in the pool. I didn't know that ducks could die in the wild. What happened there? Could that have been caused by you guys?
Kramer: So, I don't know anything about the duck situation. All I can say is our process, by releasing only oxygen, does not create an environment that would hurt wildlife. Most of our work is done in nature. Most of our work is done in rivers and lakes, and it can be done in ponds. So it is meant to be very environmentally sustainable.
We've been doing this for six or seven years. It's a really new technology, but it's being used, as I mentioned, in different environments across the country, and to me, what this means for this historic landmark is you're really putting in some very cutting-edge environmental technology here. And it's not political, it's just science. And thank you for giving me the opportunity to actually talk about it.
