Title: Where do you store your chemicals-
Post by: bethshar on August 26, 2004, 08:33:23 pm

I'd like to keep them next to the tub.  Maybe I can get a small deck box or something.  Any ideas?

I use a rubber maid container that I can lock down (not with a key) so rain doesn't get in.  It is recommended to keep in a cool, dry area so I keep in a shaded area near the tub.  No problems yet.

I keep mine inside, but I use small containers so I don't have to lug large bottles out with me.  For instance, I use the dichlor bottle that came with the start up kit.  It must be about 8 oz.  I just keep refilling it, but it is easy to handle.

Liquids such as stain & scale inhibitors and clarifiers should not be allowed to freeze.

Otherwise I agree with all that has been written here.

I keep them in locked storage room ten feet from the spa.

we keep ours inside our back door which is only about 5 ft from our tub.  We keep them in nice decorative basket with a lid so you can't see whats in it.  Out of site out of mind but yet nice and close for easy access.

We have a walkout from the basement that is about 10' from the spa.  The chemicals are in a nice plastic tote thing, so I just set it inside the door.

Thanks for all your replies.  I'll have to get a container that will fit next to the hot tub for everyday stuff.  I guess I'll keep the rest in the garage.

I got the storage steps with my Hot springs. Even though it is plastic, the functionality won..

works well.
