Chemical for detecting pee in pool?

Question by Dave Reward: Log in to view Status: Answered
Is there some type of chemical I can put in my pool that will produce a color whenever someone urinates in the pool? From what I heard, it is supposed to change the color of the water around the offender to blue or purple. What is it called and where can I purchase it?

No there is not! This has been a myth to scare kids to not urinate in the pool for hygienic reasons entirely. Please see one of the many websites I have come across: http://www.abc.net.au/science/k2/moments/s1795301.htm Good Luck!
