Can this box be used to store pool chemicals like chlorine tabs? These leach out and corrode!

Well, I'm not sure. I keep my pool chemicals in a plastic storage cabinet inside the garage. I use this box for other pool accessories. It is waterproof and really nice though. I bought two.

The plastic seems awfully sturdy but I really couldn't speak to how it might hold up against chemicals. I would be hesitant to use it for that.

I don't see why not but I'm afraid I can not confirm. There's nothing corrosive on this unit that I can see, all plastics and mesh bags.

my guess is a pool with chlorine will not make it rust, but I'm not 100% sure. salt water pool maybe, but a chlorine pool isn't a salt water pool.

Call the factory on that. It's designed for slow dissolving 3" chlorine tabs. Something else might make it explode.

I would not say this is made for that purpose. It is primarily for a sump pump and that is the reason I bought it. I think a pool with with the chemicals would be too corrosiveand this pump is made to be submerged during operation.

These test strips are for chlorinated pools. Drinking water has a much lower chlorine level, even before filtering. I'd check something for use in an aquarium where the desired level of chlorine is zero

Trichlor tablets in the skimmer basket are a bad idea because when the pump is not running, the water in the skimmer becomes highly acidic and chlorinated. This combination makes that water locally corrosive. So when you turn on the pump, that corrosive water goes straight into your pump/filter/pool heater where it can damage those systems over time. Not to mention it will make the skimmer parts brittle so they can break easier. If you are going to use chlorine tablets and you have a smaller pool you should use a dispenser with your tablets, if you have a larger pool you should use a chlorinator with your tablets.

That is exactly what I did, and it works just fine. I spoke with an employee at the pool store and he said there should be some chlorine in the pool. The system will maintain levels. So far I have been quite happy with system. Make sure you buy a water conditioner, so calcium doesn't build up so fast on the salt cell.

Airtight, no - absolutely not. It is not good for storing hazardous chemicals or stinky dead animals.

We use them for long term (up to one year) storage of city water (chlorinated) in temperatures ranging from the low 30's to upwards of 110* with no issues. Can't comment on laboratory grade distilled water.

Not really. It's most useful for chlorine levels that are in the goal range for a pool. It does give a rough estimate of PH and CYA (a pool thing) content. Doesn't test for bacteria etc, and not even that precise at what it does measure.

This canister can hold 3 in, 1 in, and stick chlorine tablets. Size would be no problem. I'm not familiar with bromine tablets. I have put 12 3 in tablets in my dispenser at one time.

No, I do not recommend this box at all. They both came to me with broken clasps and are extremely flimsy. Would not consider for outdoor use.

I doubt it as it's lightweight plastic construction. I LOVE this product and have been using it for several years now for my 18' above ground pool. My electrical box broke and they were going to charge me nearly as much as what I had originally paid for it so I bought one on Amazon last week. That one was defective as it would only move forward and not back like it's suppose to so I sent it back and got another one and low and behold same problem! -_- So I would advise to keep all shipping boxes intact in case this happens to you. Amazon is great about shipping it back free.

Yes. These can be used in saltwater pools, for a consistent reading on cyanuric acid, the ph and total alkalinity must be within range though

yes, however use a floating dispenser with one tablet inside. Might be too big for a very small child pool.

We store pool towels and the lid closes tightly enough for that purpose. I think a determined critter may be able to push up on the lid. You could place something heavy on top.
