Water Treatments. Swimming pool equipment sheds or buildings are usually quite small. Please don't store wet children in with the concentrated swimming pool chemicals, the electrical equipment and the hot gas heater. Never mix chemicals together out of the pool..... and add chemicals to water not the other way round. Don't put your lawnmower full of petrol (or spare petrol tanks) anywhere near any of the swimming pool equipment (especially the open flame heater).

Keep the swimming pool treatments in a cool dry place away from children. Handle swimming pool chemicals with caution using appropriate clothing, gloves, mask and eye protection. Chemicals in their concentrated form can be harmful to all.

Looking after swimming pool water is routine....the aim is to keep the water clean, clear and germ free. Test the water regularly and add what the tests show.
