Ways to Approach Pool Storage
When planning your pool, store or commercial pool management company, American Pool makes several recommendations regarding storage. They note that whoever is responsible for pool maintenance is going to need easy access to certain pieces of equipment, so you need to use judgment about storing items outdoors. Since much of the equipment is designed to be used in water, exposure to weather is usually not an issue, but if you live in the northeast, you’re going to need a place to store many of the items during the off season.
If you’re looking for a place for off season storage, you might want to look into a 20ft storage container from A.B. Richards, which is perfect for residential use. It can be delivered to difficult to access property.
Storing Pool Chemicals
One major issue that you need to pay attention to when storing pool equipment is making certain that you store any chemicals safely. You need to be aware of federal, state and local regulations and fire codes. Make sure all chemicals are in sealed containers and are stored away from flammable materials. Store chemicals in a cool, dry place and be careful about creating conditions where you could cause an unexpected chemical reaction. So read labels and make certain you’re not storing certain chemicals together.
