Is the reflection not full of chlorine to prevent this? It's a super wide, super shallow stagnant body of water.
It has apparently always been a problem and without a complete overhaul of the plumbing to be redone to accomodate these fixes it wont change. I think Obama had a bid out to have it done but did not do it when it was like 20 million to do it. I also think it's hilarious that he just spent 10 million to do absolutely nothing. At least his pool company is now rich. From my understanding even that paint job will only last like 5 years tops.
That's not true!
He spent 16 million doing nothing except rob it of its ability to reflect.
I expect that there was a little kickback money in it for himself, so not for nothing

It's an ozone system, just like the one before it.
(Same source as above quote)
I don't know why they wouldn't drain the lines but okay.
I don't know the details of the new system. If it's only for treating the new water being fed into the pool like the old one, it's not going to prevent all blooms just minimize the amount of algae or food brought in with the new water.
You can't constantly be bubbling ozone through open pools of water because it off gasses. When it's used as a disinfectant in drinking water the offgas need to be captured and treated.
Eta: found an article from May describing the system
Less money left over for kickbacks is my guess.
You need a huge plant to produce enough chlorine to filter that.
