    I’m thinking, since it is only cleaned once a year, paint color will be irrelevant after a week or soof algae growth.

        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.

            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.
