Bloodborne pathogens are quickly killed by normal FC levels. The CDC says that commercial pools do not need to be closed down after a blood spill but some commercial pools do it as a matter of course.sbluhm said:On a slightly different but similar note, I was hoping to hear thoughts on blood in the pool. I'm sure everyone may be grossed out, but kids have scabs that get wet and rip off and bleed, or feet that bleed after being in the pool for 30 hours straight, etc. Is blood a major concern, like a Caddy Shack evacuation? Or just another intruder the chlorine will seek and destroy?

Vomitus in pool water is actually more common and more of a problem. It is treated the same as for a formed stool fecal accident.
