Maintaining your hot tub involves more than just enjoying the bubbles—it’s also about proper chemical care. Storing your hot tub chemicals the right way not only keeps them effective but also ensures safety for your household. Here are 4 simple and efficient ways to organize and store your hot tub chemicals.
1. Choose a Cool, Dry Storage Area
Hot tub chemicals are sensitive to heat and moisture, which can degrade their effectiveness. Store them in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight. A garage or utility closet with good ventilation can be a great choice. Avoid areas prone to humidity, like bathrooms or laundry rooms.
2. Use Airtight Containers
To prevent spills and contamination, keep your hot tub chemicals in their original containers with lids tightly sealed. For an added layer of safety, consider placing the original containers inside larger, airtight plastic bins. This method helps contain any accidental leaks and keeps the chemicals away from moisture.
3. Label and Organize
Labeling your storage bins can make a huge difference when it’s time to balance your water. Use clear, easy-to-read labels for categories like sanitizers, pH adjusters, and clarifiers. Keep products you use frequently, like bromine or chlorine, in an easily accessible bin, while less frequently used chemicals can be stored in the back.
4. Keep Out of Reach of Children and Pets
Hot tub chemicals can be hazardous if ingested or mishandled. Always store them in a place that is out of reach of children and pets. Consider installing a childproof lock on your storage cabinet for added peace of mind. Safety should always come first when dealing with chemical storage.
Extra Tips for Chemical Storage
When storing your hot tub chemicals, keep these additional tips in mind:
Never mix different chemicals together, as this can cause dangerous reactions.
Avoid storing chemicals near any flammable materials or heat sources.
Regularly check expiration dates to ensure your chemicals are still effective.
