Pool Product Safety

Pool chemicals can be harmful if the proper care is not taken. Contamination or improper use of these chemicals may cause a fire, explosion or the release of toxic gases. Read and follow all labels correctly.

 Always:

• Wear safety equipment when handling chemicals including gloves, goggles, long sleeves and pants.
• Store your chemicals in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place.
• Keep your chemicals tightly covered when not in use.
• Store liquids upright.
• Read product labels and follow directions when adding chemicals to your pool.
• Add pool chemicals directly to your pool.
• Isolate spilled chemicals and read and follow directions for cleanup and disposal.
• Completely use up the product before disposing of the container.
• Thoroughly clean and dry product containers prior to disposal.
• Wash your hands thoroughly after handling chemicals.

Never:

• Allow pool chemicals to come into contact with your skin, eyes or mouth.
• Inhale or ingest pool chemicals.
• Store chemicals in a place where they can be accessed by children or pets.
• Store chemicals in a place where they can be contaminated by any other material. They can react with other materials, including other pool chemicals, to cause a fire, explosion, or release of toxic gases.
• Add water to pool chemicals or expose them to small amounts of water. They can react violently to product heat and toxic gases.
• Mix different chemicals to allow pool chemicals to move into contact with other pool chemicals or any other materials.
• Pre-mix or pre-dissolve pool chemicals before adding them to your pool.
• Smoke, grill or allow any open flame near stored chemicals.
• Put spilled product back into container, doing so will contaminate the rest of the product.
• Dispose of product container without reading product label for directions.
• Dispose of spilled product by pouring into trash or drain.
