What is the proper way to handle swimming pool chemicals?
Failure to properly handle and use chemicals can result in serious personal injury or death. READ AND FOLLOW ALL LABEL DIRECTIONS. Call your local pool professional if you have any questions about any of your chemicals. Do not mix ANY pool chemicals together. Doing so can be dangerous resulting in fire or serious injury. When diluting or mixing chemicals with water, ALWAYS ADD THE CHEMICAL TO A LARGE BUCKET OF WATER. NEVER ADD WATER TO THE CHEMICAL. Be careful when opening a chemical bucket. Be sure you are outside or in a well-ventilated area. Store all chemicals in a cool dry place, out of the reach of children. Secure all lids tightly. Why is my pool water cloudy? Cloudy water is usually due to not having enough sanitizer, poor filtration or other contaminants brought in by swimmers. Things to look for: Check your water balance either using a good test kit or by taking a water sample to your local pool professional. High calcium hardness, total alkalinity and pH can cause cloudiness
