Painting the bottom of the pool does nothing to prevent the growth of algae. If anything, the algae grows faster because the sunlight is reflected off the lighter color on the floor of the pool.

But the algae is there in the water - and it keeps growing - no matter what color is painted on the pool bottom.

How much MORE time and money will be wasted on this non-problem?
