How Much Pee is in Your Pool? Probably a lot, Study Finds.

As summer approaches, many of us are looking ahead to languid days by the pool. New research, alas, suggests many of them are laced with something other than water. Though we all suspect it’s there, it’s not easy to assess how much urine there is in a particular swimming pool (the existence of a chemical that changes color when you pee is an urban legend). But it is not an insignificant public health question. So a team of chemists at the University of Alberta in Canada has devised a new way to estimate the amount by measuring levels of an artificial sweetener commonly present in people’s urine. The scientists sampled 29 pools and hot tubs in British Columbia and Alberta, and found the artificial sweetener, called acesulfame potassium, in every one. In one residential, 110,000-gallon pool, they estimated the amount of urine to be nearly eight gallons, enough to fill the trash can you keep under the kitchen counter.

Calm down, pee is mostly water anyways.

I have never understood how any person could think it's okay to pee in a pool. How this practice became marginally socially acceptable is beyond me.
It's a lazy fricker that would rather swim in their own urine than walk 10 yards to a bathroom.
Oh and before the pee is sterile crowd shows up - there can be a lot of crap in people's urine you don't want finding its way into open cuts or sores on your body.

You kniw why they didnt measure the amount of actual pee?
Because Cl and HCl (muriatic acid) break it down

8 gallons sounds like a lot, but that is incredibly dilute in a 110,000 gallon pool. If you do the math that comes to a concentration of 0.007%.

Why are you drinking pool water

No pee in my pool. That would mean someone would have to actually swim in it to pee in it.

If your're swimming laps in a pool, you're ingesting small amounts of water just through breathing.

It is very easy to pee in a pool without getting in the actual pool
