About All Those Chemicals

There are volumes written on Chemicals, from how to store and handle them to adding them to your swimming pool or spa. We will keep adding info in here for you so check back once in a while. Anything specific you would like to know, just e-mail us. You can also go look at Our Pool for a few tips.

Here are a few general rules.

• Store Chemicals in a cool, dry area area that is well ventilated. The fumes from the chemicals can and will corrode metal. ie: bikes, lawnmowers etc.

• Never mix Chemicals - Toxic fumes, fires or explosions can result.

• Always add Chemical to water, not water to Chemical.

• Only add 1 Chemical at a time to Swimming Pool or Spa. Allow ample time for the chemicals to mix before adding more and/or retesting the level.

Many factors can change the exact level you should be aiming for in your Swimming Pool or Spa. The type of Chemicals used, and whether it is indoor or outdoor, plus the material it is constructed from, all have a bearing on these levels. Below are some of the levels (in ppm) you want to try and stay within.
