Pool chemicals are safe when used and handled correctly.
PLEASE KEEP CHILDREN AWAY FROM CHEMICALS.
As a responsible pool shop, we recommend you take care when using and storing pool chemicals:
-
Chlorine is like bleach – it will make your clothes/shoes white and kill plants on contact.
-
Don’t leave Chlorine in a hot car – it will leak through its vent hole and into your car.
-
Never mix different makes or types of Chlorine as a reaction can occur (including an explosion).
-
Never mix chlorine and acid together they will react and cause a toxic gas. Never store them close to each other.
-
Pool acid is hydrochloric acid and it will burn you, your clothes and gives off dangerous fumes.
-
We advise you to wear suitable clothing and safety gear i.e. safety glasses, face/mouth shield when dispersing liquid hydrochloric acid.
Bundoora Pool and Spa takes NO responsibility for any damage caused to any property
in the event of a leak or spill of either liquid chlorine or liquid acid.
We suggest using the plastic bags provided to transport all liquid chlorine and acid that you choose to purchase.
For a safer option Bundoora Pool and Spa recommends using granular chlorine or dry acid.
