Since 1958, the story of this mythical pool chemical has been told to children by parents who do not want them to urinate in the pool. So to make it true, we created this empty bottle with a convincing label. Here’s how it works. 👇
Fill the bottle with clean water. Adding blue food coloring is optional.
Pour the bottle of clean water into the pool in front of the swimmers.
Keep the bottle with your other chemicals or near the pool.
The myth of this pool chemical has been a staple of pop culture for years. For example, the movie "Grown Ups," exaggerate the myth and highlights the social faux pas. Additionally, it appeared in an episode of "The Adventures of Pete and Pete" in 1995.
Chlorine breaks down bacteria that could be harmful to swimmers. However, it reacts with urine to create trichloramine, which is responsible for the chlorine smell. When your eyes turn red after swimming, that's the trichloramine from pee, not chlorine. Trichloramine can also cause asthma. (Source)
According to the CDC, “when pee and chlorine mix in the pool, there is less chlorine available to kill germs.” A swimmer can introduce tiny living organisms (some of which can make you ill) and other things into the pool, including up to two soda cans worth of sweat and one cup of pee. (Source)
Studies found that swimmers produce 25 to 80 milliliters of urine per swim. So to find out how much pee might be in your pool, take the average number of swimmers per day and multiply that by 1.2. That's how many gallons of pee are in your pool at the end of the summer. There are some caveats to these generalizations, so check out the links in the source video description. (Source)

Well, because there's nothing in the bottle, it will "work" in any pool. Again, this is an empty bottle with a convincing label to scare swimmers into thinking the water will turn blue if they urinate in the pool.
No. There's nothing in the bottle. This chemical doesn't exist, but the bottle and label are real.
The bottle is empty, and there are no ingredients. It's a scare tactic to keep swimmers from peeing in the pool.
No. The bottle is empty. We recommend only adding clean water to the bottle if you want to pour it into the pool in front of swimmers to stop them from peeing in the pool.
Add it as often as people are peeing in your pool. If that's every day, then this empty bottle should be enough to scare them into stopping.
