CHEMICAL HANDLING: Consult your pool professionals on HOW to handle and WHERE to store your chemicals. Here are some recommendations:
- Typically, you should store chemicals in a cool, dry, and dark room that has sufficient ventilation. Chemicals must be stored away from heat and moisture.
- All chemicals must be stored in a SEALED container when they are not in use.
- It really is recommended to use separate scoops and buckets for each chemical. Mark the scoop and bucket for the chemical for which they are intended.
- All instructions should be read, understood, and followed.
- If your chemical requires being diluted, ALWAYS add the chemical to a bucket already filled with water; NEVER add water to the dry chemical.
- Do NOT rub your eyes after handling chemicals.
- Wash your hands with soap and (tap) water after handling chemicals. Do not just rinse them off in the pool-the pool water has just been chemically treated.
