Not that I know of any hydronium pools, I was just wondering if there would be a difference in clarity or not (as in, harder to observe the bottom)
Is a hydronium (H3O+) less clear than a water pool (H2O)?

SUMMARY
The discussion clarifies that hydronium ions (H3O+) do not exist in isolation and are always accompanied by a counterion. It concludes that acid solutions, which contain hydronium ions, are not inherently less clear than pure water (H2O), except in cases where the anion present is colored. This establishes that clarity in solutions is primarily influenced by the presence of colored ions rather than the hydronium ions themselves.
