Isn't the sun a natural way to remove harmful bacteria though, so like how much more stuff are you going to add to the water now the sun is gone?

interesting question - what would happen if like... half was covered? lol water's gonna flow into the uncovered side and get "cleaned" maybe?

They use shade balls as is. I haven't looked into it recently, but shading the water isn't new so we should have some idea.

Yes, flowing water is less likely to contain bacteria I believe. So might work!

Yes. But amounts that aren’t harmful. They also add minerals many people are lacking so that they can easily improve some health aspects.
