InHotH20 Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Where do you keep your spa chemicals and test kits/strips? Is it okay to keep them in an outdoor shed, assuming they are kept dry? I live in SoCal about 6 miles from the beach and it rarely if ever freezes here, and high temperatures in summer never go past the 90s. I noticed that one of the test strip containers I have mentions they should be kept at room temperature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's dark, dry and air conditioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quantumchromodynamics Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 I would advise against keeping chlorine, bromine or muriatic acid in the house. Even in properly closed containers, the chlorine, bromine and muriatic acid still manage to get out and cause problems. I would keep them in a shed as long as there was nothing too important in the shed. Can be kept inside: bleach, baking soda, borax and test supplies.

PaulR Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 I wouldn't keep muriatic and any form of chlorine in the same place. Spills can produce chlorine gas, a very nasty poison. --paulr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
