What it all comes down to is simple.
Trump wanted to rush it for his birthday and likely pushed the contractor into saying it would work
Contractor was Trumps Mar-a-lago buddies and hired directly without questions asked. Didn't know what they were doing.
Trump doesn't have friends.. don't underestimate the possibility that they warned Trump. And he said to ignore the warning
Otherwise Trump would be suing already...
The contractor clearly has some kind of leverage, which is preventing Trump from blaming them.. And I suspect thats a number of witnesses who can confirm they warned him
Even better, the website for the company called GREENWATER says one of their strengths is ALGAE ERADICATION.
