Why it worked

The video likely worked due to its surprising and counter-intuitive demonstration of purifying pool water using common household items. The "never using swimming pools after seeing this" hook creates intrigue and a sense of urgency, encouraging viewers to watch the entire video to understand the implied danger or revelation.

Summary

The video demonstrates a method to purify pool water by mixing salt and soap, freezing the mixture, microwaving it, and then filtering it through a towel. The purified water is then poured into the sink.

Transcript

Most people don't know this about pool water. Start by putting some salt into the glass. And put just a little bit of soap in there. And remember to mix it all up. Now that I've done that, I'm just going to go ahead and stick it in the freezer. Let's take it out and see what we got. So stick it in the microwave for about 45 seconds. All right, check it out. Next, I'm gonna run a towel underneath the faucet. Remember to expand it. Just like this. Now I'm going to pour it out into the sink. See, take a look.
