Your average public pool, an average summer day. What percentage of the volume in that pool is piss? Any educated guesses or useful resources?
What percent pee would a pool have to be before it began to change color?

Urine is sterile. Do you really want to know more than that?

assuming that each swimmer urinated a pint and that it was all yellow, it would take about 1500 peeing swimmers to begin to change the color. Look up the volume of the pool (probably 20K gallons) and figure if 15 percent of a new color would affect it. Of course if we peed purple, that would change the equation.

I would say you'd have to have about 60 per cent pee before it changed colour. that's a lot of pee!
An in an average pool there must be an awful lot of pee in there, maybe 30 per cent
I'm just guessing

I know someone who's job it was to "do the pool"..... Let's just say the pH balance was not appetizing......
