Is a pool contaminated if a rat urinated in it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rat urination: Anyone rat or person urinating in a pool will dilute in the pool water. There would have to be a lot of urine or not much water for it to be a problem. Is the pool chlorinated? If it is properly chlorinated this would decrease the risk. Rodent urine and droppings can be a concern, however the problems have been more of an issue with fresh water, rodents urinating on cans, or contaminated dust.
