If it does, I've never noticed it. It's around a corner of my house from the pool, pretty far, so it's not an issue. The dirt seems to take care of it.
Ha, I started with a pee rock, but it was too close to the patio, and was part of the landscape design, so that eventually grossed me out. I switched to the pot, farther away...

The home I currently live in has a 1/2 bathroom conveniently located right next to the pool.
You can literally get out of the pool and use it in a moments notice.
Good planning when the original owner had the pool installed.
in my profile pic the door is just out of sight (on the right side)

Ha, based on the fluctuating gravitational fields that must be occurring in any bathroom my kids use, which is the only logical explanation for why I have to clean as much of the areas around the toilet as I do, I would still make them use the Pot outside, no matter how close the bathroom was!!
It would be nice to have one convenient for adults, though, I admit...
This intrigued me, so I looked it up.
Sadly, it's not the mythical product that turns pink when in contact with urine.
No, it's a "Filth Destroyer." Which is just a fancy euphemism for a less fancy euphemism: "shock."
Specifically, Potassium peroxymonosulfate sulfate 70693-62-8 >= 50 - < 70 % MSDS
MPS has the side benefit of reading as CC on a FAS-DPD test.
So.... pool owner suspects kid has peed in pool. Pool owner adds this product. Pool owner then sees hugely high CC readings, closes the pool and proceeds to shock it.
Seems simpler to just skip all the intermediate steps and add a little extra bleach if you suspect someone's been peeing in the pool. Certainly cheaper.

BUT you could use it to "trick" the kids into thinking you can really test if they have or not, ROFL

Is the stuff that turns pee a color in a pool really a myth? I always believed there was such a thing...
Yes it's a myth. If you want to convince some kids it is real though get your hands on some leak detection dye. Put it in your trunks between your legs. Sit on the steps and tell them there is dye in the pool. Then make a face like you are peeing and squeeze the bottle with your legs. Instant Wee-See confirmation!
