Safe Handling
- Read all labels carefully and follow directions precisely. Never mix chemicals together. Chemical reactions, toxic fumes, explosions or a fire may occur. Add each chemical to pool water separately.
- If label instructions call for mixing or diluting with water, use a clean dry container and never add water to chemicals, always add chemicals to the water.
- Always use a separate clean scoop when measuring chemicals. Don’t interchange scoops or place a wet scoop back in any chemical container.
- Never put chemical products such as Calcium Hypochlorite directly into skimmers or automatic chlorinators made for dispensing Trichloro (stabilised chlorine) or bromine chemicals.
- Rinse out empty bags or containers of chemicals in pool water; it gets the full value of the product in the pool, and cleans residual chemical from the container.
- Always hold and open chemical containers in a well-ventilated area with lid or cap pointed away from your face. Avoid breathing fumes and avoid letting chemicals contact eyes, nose, mouth or skin.
- Always keep chemical containers closed when not in use.
- Don’t smoke around chemicals. Some fumes can be highly flammable. Pool and spa sanitizers and oxidisers can be ignited by a lighted cigarette or match.
- Use exact quantities specified, never more. Do not overdose.
