Safety
First
Always read labels and follow
directions carefully. You'll learn important information about
the proper application, handling and storage of the product
you're using. Used correctly, pool water maintenance products
safeguard the health of your entire family. If they're mishandled,
they can be hazardous. Keep the following do's and don'ts in
mind for a safer and more enjoyable pool environment.
ALWAYS…
…clean up spills as soon as they occur and
safely dispose of the material. Small spills can be diluted
by hosing off into the pool. Contact us, Pools Plus, for advice
on cleaning larger spills. Never use a vacuum cleaner to clean
spills. It's hazardous to throw chemicals
into the trash or put spilled material back into the
original container. Keep all spills away from lawns and landscaping
to avoid damage. Dispose of all chemicals according to label
directions.
…store chemical products safely and
out of the reach of small children. Keep your pool maintenance
products in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from other
household or garden chemicals and petroleum products.
…keep chemical product containers tightly closed when not
in use.
…brace liquids so they won't tip while transporting them
in your car. Do not allow chemicals to
stay in the car for a long period of time. Make Pools
Plus your last stop. Unpack chemicals as soon as you get home.
…wear protective equipment (safety
glasses, rubber gloves, etc.) as directed on the label of the
product.
…use care when broadcasting powdered products into the
pool on windy days to prevent product from getting in eyes or
mouth or onto skin.
NEVER…
…mix chemicals of any kind
together. An uncontrolled reaction such
as fuming, fire or explosion could occur. Always add maintenance
products to the pool water separately and in different areas.
…overdose your pool. Be sure
to use the exact amount specified on the label or by us at Pools
Plus. Knowing your pool's exact volume will help prevent over
or under application.
…inhale fumes or allow products to
get in your eyes, nose or mouth. When opening a product,
turn your face to one side or point the container away from
you. In the event of accidental contact or if product is swallowed,
follow emergency advice on the product label and call your doctor
and/or your local Poison Control Center.
…smoke around chemicals. Some
chemical fumes can be highly flammable, and sanitizers or oxidizers
can be ignited by a cigarette or match.
…allow children to handle, measure
or dispense chemicals.
…interchange measuring scoops or place
wet scoops back into any chemical container.
…Store liquids directly above sanitizers
and oxidizers. They may accidentally leak and contaminate
other products.
…leave large, open containers in areas
where children play. Such containers often collect water
and present a potential drowning hazard.
