Always
read the product label and follow directions carefully.
It contains important information on the proper
application, handling and storage of the compound
you're using. Used correctly, pool water maintenance
products safeguard the health of your entire family.
If they're mishandled, they can be hazardous.
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.
Never
overdose your pool. Use the exact amount specified
on the label or by Crystal Clear Pools, your BioGuard® Dealer. Knowing
your pool's exact volume will help prevent over -
or under - application.
Never
add water to chemicals; always add the chemical to
large amounts of water.
Never
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. The phone number of American
Association of Poison Control Centers is
1-800-222-1222.
Never
smoke around chemicals. Some chemical fumes can be
highly flammable, and sanitizers or oxidizers can
be ignited by a lit cigarette or match.
Never
allow children to handle, measure or dispense chemicals.
Never
interchange measuring scoops or place wet scoops back
into any chemical container.
Never
store liquids directly above sanitizers and oxidizers;
they may accidentally leak and contaminate other products.
Never
store pool sanitizers and oxidizers near metal products
like bicycles, lawn mowers, cars, etc., because they
may cause rust.
Never
leave large, open containers in areas where children
play. Such containers often collect water and present
a potential drowning hazard.
Always
clean up any spills as soon as they occur and
dispose of the material in a safe manner. Small spills
can be diluted by hosing off into the pool. Contact
Crystal Clear Pools 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.
Always
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.
Always
keep chemical product containers tightly closed when
not in use.
Always
brace liquids so they won't tip while transporting
them in your car. Don't allow chemicals to stay in
the car for a long period of time. Make the pool store
your last stop. Unpack them as soon as you get home.
Always
wear protective equipment (safety glasses, rubber
gloves, etc.) as directed on the label of the product.
Always
use care when broadcasting powdered products into
the pool (especially on windy days) to prevent product
from getting in eyes or mouth or onto skin.
