Urine-indicator dye is a mythical substance that is supposed to be able to react with urine to form a colored cloud in a swimming pool or hot tub, thus indicating the location of people who are urinating while they are in the water.
Water color can reveal physical, chemical and bacteriological conditions. In drinking water, green can indicate copper leaching from copper plumbing and can also represent algae growth. Blue can also indicate copper, or might be caused by syphoning of industrial cleaners in the tank of commodes, commonly known as backflowing.
The aqueous solution in the classical reaction contains glucose, sodium hydroxide and methylene blue. [14] In the first step an acyloin of glucose is formed. The next step is a redox reaction of the acyloin with methylene blue in which the glucose is oxidized to diketone in alkaline solution [6] and methylene blue is reduced to colorless leucomethylene blue.
Whirlpool tubs: These tubs release sprays of heated bubbles (air walk-in tub), water (hydrotherapy walk-in tub), or both to massage sore muscles. The whirlpool gives the tub a Jacuzzi-like feel.
The sea is seen as blue for largely the same reason: the water absorbs the longer wavelengths of red and reflects and scatters the blue, which comes to the eye of the viewer. The deeper the observer goes, the darker the blue becomes. In the open sea, only about 1% of light penetrates to a depth of 200 metres (see underwater and euphotic depth).
Such could be the case if your teen decides to run themselves a bath, only to then leave the water to overflow and cause damage because they’re distracted by a phone call.
The water's milky blue hue is due to its high silica content. [1] The silica forms soft white mud on the bottom of the lake which bathers rub on themselves. [2] The water is also rich in salts and algae. [3] The water temperature in the bathing and swimming area of the lagoon averages 37–39 °C (99–102 °F).
