Protect Your Pool Over the Cold Winter Season
Thousands of people are injured by swimming pool chemicals each year. While chlorine and other swimming pool chemicals are necessary to keep our swimming water safe, mishandling of these chemicals can cause serious injury.
Most injuries come from inhaling swimming pool chemicals or from swimming pool chemical spills.
To avoid swimming pool chemical injuries, follow these rules:
Step 1
swimming pool chemicals must not be mixed with each other
WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING WHEN HANDLING SWIMMING POOL CHEMICALS
Wear long sleeves, goggles and a face mask to prevent inhaling pool chemical dust or splashing liquid on your body or in your eyes. Pool chemicals can burn. Inhaling chlorine can result in damage to your lungs.
Step 2
DO NOT MIX CHEMICALS
Do not mix swimming pool chemicals prior to putting them in the swimming pool. Mixing swimming pool chemicals with anything can create a chemical reaction that can result in harmful gases or fumes.
Step 3
GIVE CAREFUL ATTENTION TO SWIMMING POOL CHEMICALS STORAGE
Because of their caustic nature, swimming pool chemicals should be stored in a well-maintained area, away from other chemicals that may interact with the pool chemicals if there is any spillage or leakage.
Step 4
CLEAN YOUR POOOL REGULARLY
Keep your swimming pool properly maintained and clean, instead of relying on chemicals to do all the work.
