Are we sure it’s hydrogen peroxide? Even before Trump NPS regularly added algaecides.
If it is H2O2, it will react with the chloramine that’s in the water and both the hydrogen peroxide and the chloramine will be neutralized. It wouldn’t take much, 50-100 gallons of H2O2 would be enough to neutralize all the chloramine in the pool.
But to both neutralize the chloramine and reach enough hydrogen peroxide to effectively kill the algae, they’d probably need around 1 gallon H2O2 per 10,000 gallons of water, so around 6,675 gallons of H2O2.
Considering the boxes say hydrogen peroxide and the bottles say hydrogen peroxide, it seems like a safe assumption that they didn’t open all the bottles up, fill them with something else no one would complain if they used…
Like, what’s your reasoning for them putting so much effort in to fake not using the normal method?
We should specify the concentration of H2O2. What you buy at the drug store is 2-3%. The stuff at the beauty shop might have 10% to bleach hair or used as a disinfectant similar in effectiveness to bleach. At 90+%, H2O2 is a hypergolic rocket fuel that’ll ignitight when in contact with any organic marital.

That yellow vest guy is gonna get so many CVS points buying those 1-gallon jugs…
The receipt will span the entire pool. I mean, it would anyway for a candy bar at that place but it will here too!
You can’t buy 12% H2O2 at CVS. I don’t know why they didn’t go straight to the 35% stuff though.

The boxes say 12%.
Below the 12% it says Hydrogen Peroxide.
I have a jug of 34% H2O2 in my shed for my weed plants. It’s nasty stuff.
12% at least isn’t gonna give you much of a chemical burn, mostly just bleach whatever it touches that isn’t a solution.
Hard to tell but to me, the boxes appear to say “1.2% Hydrogen Peroxide”. Thats some zoomed in, internet sleuthing though.
After zooming in, I do see that they say 12% hydrogen peroxide, which is the typical cleaning grade.

It is not tap water. Or so someone else said.
It actually is filled with standard tap water from DC Water.
