So, the company brought in temporary equipment to get the system running before the permanent structure was finished.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Four stand-alone mobile machines, which could be seen with the naked eye, were put in the Reflecting Pool on June 6, two days after the pool was refilled with water. The units, which work differently from the permanent ones, made small white plumes of bubbles as nozzles shot nanobubbles into the water. The company said the four machines were operating at the same amount of power that the permanent system would have had.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            At that point the water was clear; everything was working well, a spokesperson said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            However, on June 12, a source close to the project said the company was asked by the National Park Service to remove the temporary structures. They were not given a reason. The four units were taken offline and off-site by the company. The algae bloom appeared, according to a person close to the project and video images of the pool captured that afternoon by a CNN camera.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Greenwater Services would not comment on the time gap when the temporary systems were removed.  The Interior Department and White House did not respond to CNN\u2019s questions about why the call was made to take the machines out of the water. The New York Times first reported on the removal of the temporary systems.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            During that 24-hour period, the Trump administration hosted a high-profile Ultimate Fighting Championship photo op on the National Mall.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The next day, the company reinstalled the temporary machines.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A duckling swims through algae in the newly repainted Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on the National Mall on June 16, 2026.\" class=\"wp-image-4215\" height=\"513\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ad6b6f60d8dbdc742ee5f835bf6dee46.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ad6b6f60d8dbdc742ee5f835bf6dee46.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ad6b6f60d8dbdc742ee5f835bf6dee46-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>A duckling swims through algae in the newly repainted Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on the National Mall on June 16, 2026.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Chip Somodevilla\/Getty Images<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            As the four temporary units continued to run, the permanent unit arrived on June 16 and installation began.

This is when Greenwater Service\u2019s technology steps in.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            An oxygen concentrator pulls air in and then sends an electrical current that breaks up that O2 into pure oxygen molecules to form \u201cozone.\u201d That ozone is then injected into the master water pipe, through a series of patented nozzles with pressure.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A glimpse at technology that Trump administration officials say will lead to clear water at the Reflecting Pool.\" class=\"wp-image-4216\" height=\"614\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/765b3e223b1a74e9c33bf301ad65d75b.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/765b3e223b1a74e9c33bf301ad65d75b.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/765b3e223b1a74e9c33bf301ad65d75b-300x240.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>A glimpse at technology that Trump administration officials say will lead to clear water at the Reflecting Pool.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Greenwater Services<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            That master pipe splits into numerous preexisting smaller pipes that run around the exterior of the Reflecting Pool, providing inputs for water to enter.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The Interior Department has previously noted the need to repair and potentially replace thousands of feet of pipes that have been in disrepair for several years.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The ozone nanobubbler relies on at least some of the pipes being viable.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Antinone said a number of the pipes are viable but was unsure how many are up and running.

In research published in 2020, the federal agency said the technology effectively remediates harmful algal blooms.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Greenwater Services has never used its technology on a pool, only for projects in waterways, such as the Tijuana River, Ohio\u2019s Lake Newport and Florida\u2019s Port Mayaca.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Raymond said, ideally, the nanobubbler technology could work best by getting ahead of any algae, when installed during cooler months, not during the summer when the conditions for algae \u2014 heat and sunlight \u2014 are prime.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cIf you had all the time in the world, you should launch this fall or winter,\u201d she said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            But the company was under a tight deadline to make the pool clear by July.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Greenwater Services attempted to portray the timeline, and the warm, muggy DC weather they were up against as a positive.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cIf we had put this in here and there\u2019s no algae, we wouldn\u2019t have learned anything,\u201d Antinone said. \u201cThe whole goal here is to make the process better, so every time we do something, we should learn a little bit.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        Greenwater\u2019s contract under scrutiny\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            Like Virginia-based Atlantic Industrial Coatings, the company enlisted to resurface the pool bottom with a blue material, Greenwater Services was allowed to bypass a competitive-bidding process that is typically done for government contracts.
