7 second pee in the pool rule?

Question

I heard that if you peed in a pool or something like that the chlorine will kill all the gross stuff like germs in 7 seconds.. is that true?

Answer 1

Dude why even chance it?

Answer 2

should do.

But most pools these days have a chemical in them that when you urinate in the pool it stains your legs/swimmers a purpleish red colour. It is true.

Answer 3

Ever wonder why your eyes burn in the water? Urine is an acid. And the chlorine smell around the pool is chloramine -- a sign that the chlorine has already been used up attacking the "gross stuff" you mention.

You can try to rationalize urinating in the pool, but you are still responsible for making the pool an unpleasant place.

Answer 4

Well, it's risky, I'll tell you that.......

Answer 5

In most cases, the chlorine kills it in UNDER 7 seconds. My high school coach actually wanted us to pee in the pool, because she didn't want us getting out during sets to use the restroom.

Answer 6

Most of it yes.
