Not sure what this might do in a pool. It also says to keep it away from oxidizing materials (such as chlorine?)

Also this link has some intersting info on how it works...seems it is simply an abrasive and can actually scratch surfaces.

Just for your info.
Very good info!
I just got off of the phone with P&G. I spoke with Erica in the home care division. I explained my concerns in regard to the chlorine in the pool. She stated that chlorine bleach caused the sponge to break down at "excessive rates" and they do not recommend using it with chlorine bleach for that reason. Erica also stated that they have not tested it for use in a swimming pool but would pass on the information. I asked if chlorine had anything to do with the hazardous decomposition of the sponge. Her response was that it only listed that chlorine would cause the sponge to deteriorate quickly.
I would like an opinion from a Chemist though
