 Pool chemicals during the winter: 

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
  • Keep out of reach of children and pets.
  • Store products in the original containers.
  • Be sure your storage area is well ventilated. Vapors may build up inside containers.
  • Never store oxidizers and acids near each other. Oxidizers will release chlorine gas if they come in contact with acids.
  • Do not store liquids above powders or solids. Do not stack containers.
  • Do not store pool chemicals near gasoline, fertilizers, herbicides, grease, paints, tile cleaners, turpentine, or flammable materials.
  • While pool chemicals are less sensitive to cold temperatures than too hot, most will lose some of their potency if they freeze.
