or pets are in relation to product
containers. Handle all products
carefully.

all products in a dry, well-ventilated
area – with the lids on.

store products in direct sunlight.

store products near a heat source or open
flame. Never store sanitizers next to
pool equipment.

not store liquid products above dry
products.

not store pool products and garden
products (fertilizers, insecticides,
etc.) in the same area.

spills should be handled per label
directions.
