Pool Product Safety
When used properly, pool chemicals can make your pool look and feel amazing. But these are chemicals, after all, and they can be quite harmful and dangerous if handled improperly. In fact, contamination or improper use of these chemicals may cause a fire, explosion or the release of toxic gases. We encourage you to read and follow all labels correctly.

Always:

• Store your chemicals in a cool, dry, well-ventilated places.
• Keep your chemicals tightly covered when not in use.
• Store liquids upright.
• Read product labels and follow directions when adding chemicals 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.
