:::I doubt the gelatin just added to the pool would work. It needs to be heated to dissolve, and it will melt/dissolve is reheated. But at room temperature, it gels. So I suspect dumping powdered gelatin in room temperature water would just sink. --[[User:blaisepascal|Blaise Pascal]] | :::I doubt the gelatin just added to the pool would work.

| β | :::I don't think heat is ''required'' to dissolve Jell-o -- I think it just helps. Agitation (say, an Olympic swimming doing laps) should be sufficient. However, refrigeration helps a lot in gelling, so it'll take quite a while at room (actually outdoor) temperature. Then we have the question of Chlorine, which has a very high pH (very alkali). The acid (low pH) content of some fruits prevents gelling, so they can't be used with Jell-o. It's unclear what effect the caustic would have. | + | :::I don't think heat is ''required'' to dissolve Jell-o -- I think it just helps.

I like thinking that Cueball has four giant boxes of Jello mix somewhere nearby, just to be prepared. --[[User:DanB|DanB]] ([[User talk:DanB|talk]]) 15:17, 8 August 2012 (UTC) | I like thinking that Cueball has four giant boxes of Jello mix somewhere nearby, just to be prepared. --[[User:DanB|DanB]] ([[User talk:DanB|talk]]) 15:17, 8 August 2012 (UTC) | ||
